Carrot Coffee Cake

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel and grate the carrots (I use my food processor). You should have about 1 1/2 cups.

Step 2

Cake Mix: Whisk sugar, melted butter, and eggs. Stir in carrots. Add flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix until just combined. The batter will be very thick.

Step 3

Streusel: Mix ingredients for the streusel until you get a texture that looks like pebbles (sometimes I use my hands to mix it all together).

Step 4

Bake: Spread batter into a greased 9-inch round baking pan (see notes). Sprinkle with streusel. Bake for 30 minutes, until the center is just set. Top with honey butter if you’re extra (you are).

Step 5

Honey Butter: Mix 1/4 cup very soft butter with 1/4 cup honey. Spread or dollop on warm slices of carrot cake coffee cake and die and go to heaven.

Step 6

I used a 9-inch round cake pan, but an 8 or 9-inch square or smaller rectangular baking dish would also work.
