Part 2/7:
To kick off the baking process, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather your ingredients. The star of our show is, of course, the carrots. You will need one cup (90 grams) of shredded carrots for this recipe; peel and shred them carefully. Remember that using the right kitchen tools can make preparation easier and safer.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, mix together your dry ingredients. Begin with 2 and 1/4 cups (270 grams) of all-purpose flour. Accurate measurements are vital for soft, cakey cookies, so utilizing a kitchen scale is recommended. Next, add a teaspoon of baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon of sea salt for mildness, and introduce the warming spices that truly bring carrot cake to life.
