Although the active starter would mean that your batter may have to ferment before it\u2019s ready to bake. For this specific recipe, we\u2019re going to be using a sourdough starter, so that we can get a hint of that fabulous sour flavor. For a more sour flavor, an active starter would be the perfect choice for you. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-are-the-ingredients-for-this-sourdough-carrot-cake\">What Are The Ingredients For This Sourdough Carrot Cake?<\/h2>\n<p>The key components of this scrumptious sourdough carrot cake are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Eggs<\/strong>: As with most cake recipes, eggs are key ingredients, in the sense that they provide structure, richness, color, and flavor to your carrot cake. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil<\/strong>: This carrot cake recipe calls for oil instead of butter, simply due to the moistness and tenderness of the sponge. You can use any type of oil you wish, i.e., avocado, coconut, vegetable, or olive oil. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar<\/strong>: Brown sugar along with white sugar provides a rich flavor to your baked goods, which is what we tend to look for in carrot cake. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Sourdough discard<\/strong>: The special ingredient that will bring forth your favorite sourdough flavors. You can also use an active sourdough starter with 100% hydration, although you will need to take time out for fermentation. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour<\/strong>: You can use any type of flour such as all-purpose, bread flour, plain flour, or any type of gluten-free flour. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Cinnamon<\/strong>: The subtle spice notes in carrot cake come from the inclusion of ground cinnamon. However, you can certainly amp up the taste with a pinch of ginger powder, or nutmeg. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Carrots<\/strong>: It won\u2019t be a carrot cake without grated carrots!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dried fruits or nuts<\/strong>: These can be included in the batter, and added to the cream cheese topping, for a crunchy finish. You can add raisins, dried cranberries, walnuts, or pecans. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream cheese<\/strong>: The cream cheese frosting is the scrumptious finish we all need to tie the cake together, making a splendid treat!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-use-preshredded-carrots-from-the-produce-section\">Can I Use Pre-Shredded Carrots From The Produce Section?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, absolutely! <\/p>\n<p>While pre-shredded carrots are certainly great at saving time, you may find that they won\u2019t taste as good as freshly shredded carrots. Pre-shredded carrots have little to no juice left, which means that you may not be able to capture that sweet carrot taste in your carrot cakes. <\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re trying to make the best carrot cake, always opt for fresh carrots, and grate them yourself. If you\u2019re trying to save time, then grate them a day before the bake. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-this-sourdough-discard-carrot-cake-have-nuts-or-raisins\">Does This Sourdough Discard Carrot Cake Have Nuts or Raisins?<\/h3>\n<p>While this recipe includes chopped pecans, yours can certainly include a mixed variety of dried fruits and nuts, for a varied texture and flavor. <\/p>\n<p>Go crazy, and add a combination of walnuts, pecans, pistachios, and a few raisins for a fruity, nutty treat. I like to keep my add-ins simple so that I can appreciate the authenticity of this recipe. <\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019ve got leftover pecans, you can use them for these fantastic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycookingjourney.com\/pecan-shortbread-cookies\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.mycookingjourney.com\/pecan-shortbread-cookies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pecan shortbread cookies<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-sourdough-carrot-cake-with-cream-cheese-recipe\">Best Sourdough Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Recipe<\/h2>\n<p>This scrumptious, moist, and flavorful sourdough carrot cake, wrapped in cinnamon spice, and embellished with cream cheese, topped with chopped pecans, makes the perfect centerpiece for a small party, or weekend treat. <\/p>\n<p>So grab your apron and get baking!<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Type<\/strong>: Cake<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cuisine<\/strong>: European<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recipe yield<\/strong>: 1 cake<\/li>\n<li><strong>Calories<\/strong>: 589kcal<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preparation time<\/strong>: 10 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cooking time<\/strong>: 40 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total time<\/strong>: 50 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ingredients\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4 eggs<\/li>\n<li>1 cup sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 cup brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup of sourdough starter discard<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>2 cups of all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp baking soda<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp baking powder<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. salt<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>2 cups of grated carrots<\/li>\n<li>1 cup of chopped pecans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cream-cheese-frosting\">Cream cheese frosting<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>8 ounces of softened cream cheese <\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup of softened butter<\/li>\n<li>3 cups of confectioner\u2019s sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>1 cup of chopped pecans, walnuts, or raisins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"instructions\">Instructions<\/h3>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

They won\u2019t produce the outcome you desire. Not to mention, pre-shredded carrot cakes are much too thick for your moist carrot cake sponge. <\/li>\n<li>You can use an active starter or discard it for this recipe, as we\u2019re looking for flavor instead of sourdough rise and texture. <\/li>\n<li>Do not frost the cake until it has cooled completely. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bettycrocker.co.uk\/how-to\/a-cool-cake-creates-perfect-icing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Frosting a hot cake<\/a> will result in a frothy mess!<\/li>\n<li>For that perfect cake rise, make sure you\u2019re using both baking soda and baking powder, as your sourdough starter won\u2019t be contributing to the rising of your cake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-makes-this-carrot-cake-so-special\">What Makes This Carrot Cake So Special?<\/h2>\n<p>While an ordinary carrot cake is made with the usual bright orange carrots, complete with a scrumptious cream cheese frosting, this sourdough carrot cake has all those things, plus a special element that only elevates the taste. So you can enjoy a sweet, tart, and exceptionally moist carrot cake for tea!

Since this recipe doesn\u2019t require many animal-based ingredients, the switch will be fairly simple. <\/p>\n<p>The only ingredient that may need switching in this recipe would be the cream cheese frosting. You can substitute this for coconut buttercream frosting.

Once that has been established, you can move on to the carrot cake ingredients. <\/p>\n<p>You can always opt for gluten-free all-purpose flour or settle for alternatives like brown rice flour, buckwheat flour, sorghum flour, or millet flour.
