Delightful Carrot Cake

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 2 tablespoons dry milk powder
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mace (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Allow butter to reach room temperature. Cream sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Add in flour, powdered milk, and corn syrup. Beat each in well. Add juice of half a lemon, salt, vanilla, nutmeg and mace. Make sure everything is well blended, and pour into a greased loaf pan.
  2. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 45 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick and seeing if it comes out clean. You almost want to underbake this.
