CARROT BUNDT CAKE WITH GLAZE

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F.
• Generously grease a bundt pan or a 10-inch tube pan.
• In a large bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed blend the eggs with oil, white and brown sugar and vanilla until no sugar granules remain (about 3 minutes).
• In a bowl sift together flour with baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Add the flour mixture to the egg/oil mixture and beat until just combined.
• Mix in grated carrots and raisins.
• Pour into prepared bundt or tube pan.
• Bake for about 1 hour or until cake tests done.
• Cool cake for about 20 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool.
• Refrigerate until completely cold.

BAKED CARROT CAKE DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 6-cavity doughnut pans or one 12-cavity muffin pan with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and ginger. In a medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, milk, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla. Fold the carrots and raisins into the wet mixture, then fold the dry flour mixture into the wet.
• Transfer the batter to a large pastry bag or resealable plastic bag. Cut a 1/4-inch hole in the corner of the bag, then squeeze the batter evenly into the 12 cavities. Bake until golden and set, rotating the pans halfway through, 14 to 16 minutes. A toothpick inserted into a doughnut should come out with moist crumbs attached.
• Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for a few minutes, then tip them out onto a cooling rack to cool.
• To prepare the glaze, gently heat the cream cheese in a wide, shallow bowl in short 5-second bursts in the microwave until warm and runny. Whisk in the sugar. Dip the top of each doughnut into the glaze. (If the glaze gets too thick as it cools, you can pop it in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds at a time.) These are best the day they're made.
