The Norwegian version of Carrot Cake is so easy to make and full of flavor! I think it's also one of the healthiest cakes you can bake because the main ingredient is carrot!

Don't get me wrong, I love a good frosted cake, but sometimes there is just too much frosting. I love a cake where the actual cake tastes really good as well and not only serves as a vessel for the frosting. Am I the only one? Carrot cake is moist, delicious and just gets better and better!

Add the eggs and sugar together first and whisk for about 10 minutes on high speed. Then add all the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. Grate the carrots and add them to your dry ingredients along with the oil. Pour the dough into a round pan and bake in the oven on 350 degrees (180-190 Celsius) for 45 minutes. Once it's done, let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before you remove the side panel of the springform.
