The carrot cake without a scale is a smart and super soft dessert, you make it in 5 minutes with a fork, without butter and without weighing anything, you use a simple glass to measure the ingredients. Fragrant, moist, soft, and delicious, the carrot cake without a scale is perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert, I made it even better by adding orange juice (which you can also replace with milk) and, if you like, you can also replace some all-purpose flour with almond flour, it will please both adults and children!

Steps
The carrot cake without a scale is very simple and quick to prepare. First, peel the carrots and grate them with a medium-small hole grater (or chop them with a mixer or food processor). Place the eggs, grated carrots, grated zest, and orange juice, sugar, and vegetable oil in a bowl and mix with a fork.
Add the flour, baking powder and mix all the ingredients well, still with the fork, you should get a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
Transfer the mixture into a cake pan lined with parchment paper and bake the carrot cake without a scale in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 40 minutes, do the toothpick test to check the doneness.
Finish the carrot cake without a scale with a dusting of powdered sugar and serve it.
Notes:
The carrot cake without a scale can be stored at room temperature for 3-4 days. Instead of orange juice, you can use milk, even plant-based. If you like, you can replace half a cup of all-purpose flour with just under half a cup of almond flour. If you prefer to prepare this cake with weighed ingredient quantities, here they are, still no need to be precise to the gram: 300 g of all-purpose flour, 275 g of grated carrots, 150 g of sugar, 125 g of vegetable oil and 75 g of orange juice plus, of course, the other ingredients that are not measured with the glass.
