Carrot Cake Coffee Cake 

carrots

sugar

butter, melted

eggs

flour

baking soda

cinnamon

salt

brown sugar

Prep

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel and grate the carrots (I use my food processor). You should have about 1 1/2 cups.

Cake Batter

Whisk sugar, melted butter, and eggs. Stir in carrots. Add flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix until just combined. The batter will be very thick.

Streusel

Mix ingredients for the streusel until you get a texture that looks like pebbles (sometimes I use my hands to mix it all together).

Bake

Spread batter into a greased 9-inch round baking pan (see FAQs). Sprinkle with streusel. Bake for 30 minutes until the center is just set. Top with honey butter if you&#8217;re extra (you are).

I made this tonight with almond flour because I was out of all purpose and it was delicious. The almond flavor really complimented the rest of the flavors well. The only thing is that it didnt bind together as well as I'm sure it would have with the all purpose flour. Next time I might try half of each flour so I can still get the almond flavor but with a better texture.

I made this with part almond flour (1/4 c almond, 1:4 c oat flour, 1:2 c A/P) and reduced the sugar to 1/2 c.  Was delish &amp; held together beautifully.  Using baby carrots so my estimation for ‘2 large carrots’ was probably off.  Would love it if there was a measure of some kind-weight, or amount after grating?
I enjoy so many of Pinch of Yum’s recipes, thank you!

Made this for Easter brunch and it was a hit!! Thanks for the inspiration!

Hmmm....I did a little research and found this very interesting. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/29/my-ojibwe-father-drew-land-olakes-maiden-she-was-never-stereotype/

The honoring of the indigenous peoples of this land is almost non-existent.  Therefore I am grateful to see the thoughtfulness behind the redesigned artwork to bring honor to the Ojibwe tribe in the Land O Lakes logo.

I understand you wanting to make her aware of the packaging but did you really have to be so mean and presumptive in your language?  I’m super liberal and agree with what you’re bringing to light but you could have been kinder in your message.

This is genius! How has no one thought of this before?!

You are awesome and your recipes are delicious! Thanks for another great one Lindsay ; )

So good! I can't eat dairy at the moment, so I subbed veg oil in the cake and coconut oil on the topping (and added walnuts) and had to force myself to stop eating it. Kid approved as well! 

I love butter when I can eat it, but have to agree with the pp re: the land o'Lakes logo. We know better and this should be addressed.

Wow.  Came here to say that I actually made this today and it turned out great!  My mother-in-law is coming to visit and as soon as I saw it I knew she'd love it and it looked so easy!  It WAS easy which, for a non-baker like me is important.  I used an 8-inch pan instead

Made this today as my mother-in-law is coming to visit and I thought she'd love it.  I think it turned out great and can't wait to dig in when she gets here!  It was super-easy to make which is important for a non-baker like me!  I used an 8-inch springform pan.  I think an 8-inch works better than a 9-inch.  The cake seemed like it would be a little too much like a disc in a 9-inch.  Now, I avoid making comments on controversial subjects like crazy because it's a no-win.  However, I have YET to hear of any native Americans protesting or taking offense to the Land O'Lakes packaging.

I made this earlier in the evening and just sliced into it. It is so delicious! I used half whole wheat flour and unsalted butter. I also added about 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts into my streusel. I'll be making the honey butter for leftovers tomorrow ;) This recipe is definitely a keeper, thank you Lindsay!!

I made this cake tonight and it is fine, but not exceptional. I would add extra things eg nuts to give a more varied texture if I make this again. I reduced the sugar in the cake to 1/2 cup, which was plenty. Thank you for including the nutrition profile as it is most important for ‘treats’.

Your recipes are just AMAZING! I made it last night and it was great! Thank you
