Ingredients

Cake Batter

  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup carrots, grated

Topping

  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger until evenly combined. This will create the spiced base for your cobbler batter.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the undrained crushed pineapple, melted butter, vanilla extract, and grated carrots. This mixture adds moisture, sweetness, and texture to the batter.
  4. Form Batter: Gradually stir the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Then, transfer the batter to an 8×10-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Add Topping: Sprinkle the brown sugar and chopped walnuts evenly over the surface of the batter to add sweetness and a crunchy texture.
  6. Pour Boiling Water: Carefully pour 1 1/2 cups of boiling water over the entire top of the batter and toppings. This creates a sauce as the cobbler bakes, ensuring moistness and rich flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the cobbler is cooked through.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence. Enjoy your delicious carrot cake cobbler!

Notes

  • Make sure to pour the boiling water carefully over the top to avoid disturbing the batter too much.
  • This dessert is best served warm to enjoy the sauce and flavors fully.
  • Walnuts can be substituted with pecans or omitted for nut-free variation.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
