Whisk flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Combine carrots and buttermilk in a medium bowl.

Line bottoms with parchment paper rounds lightly coat rounds with nonstick spray. Lightly coat two 9"-diameter cake pans with nonstick spray. When selecting your carrots, opt for medium-size ones ( larger carrots can be starchy and bland) and shred them on the small holes of a box grater or with the grating disc of a food processor-large shreds of grated carrot may not soften adequately in the time it takes the layers to bake.Įditor’s note: This recipe was originally published in our May 2016 issue. Cinnamon and ground ginger take the lead (2 teaspoons each), while a whisper of nutmeg (just ½ teaspoon) adds woodsy, floral balance that beautifully complements the earthy sweet carrots. We streamlined the spices, too, but turned up the volume on each for maximum impact without muddied flavors. We found the walnuts key, however, for the texture they add to the tender crumb (pecans make a worthy substitute). Strongly anti-raisin? Leave them out if you must. Plumped with rum, the raisins add pops of juicy sweet flavor throughout the layer cake. The two add-ins we left in the mixing bowl: golden raisins and toasted walnuts. To achieve our dream carrot cake, we stripped the dessert of all nonessential ingredients. Ideally, those layers should be studded with a few choice ingredients to keep the texture interesting and they must be hidden under a layer of cream cheese frosting so thick someone might mistake the dessert for a cheesecake. He was up, down, and back again.īut, as expected, despite great dangers along the way, he stuck the landing.Carrot cake may be one hotly contested dessert, but we can all agree that the best carrot cake recipes turn out moist layers that are warmly (but not overly) spiced. He was on television, residing in MTV’s 10:30 slot following “The Hills”.

I’ve always found a way to realize that if anybody has a problem with me, there’s something going on in that person’s life.” But for me, I’ve always pushed through that. “While you’re in any sort of pushback, or people not agreeing with what you’re doing, or definitely questioning everything that you’re doing … everyone has an opinion … and you feel that. “I’ve been faced with a lot of adversity throughout my skateboarding career, which has been a blessing now, looking at it from a distance.” That’s not even skateboarding,” Sheckler assured. ![]() So how did Sheckler manage to quiet the naysayers residing within his own mind? The same way he would’ve attacked external doubt, at any point during his rise to prominence and resulting battle: compartmentalizing the problem and moving it to a different sphere. The failure to do so could’ve ended his career. This becomes clear in the documentary, which often checks in with a storyline involving Sheckler persevering through ongoing trials while trying to nail a particularly risky trick. While he knows the newfound stakes associated with his current phase of life, Sheckler made it clear he only knows one way to skate, and while he’ll always be careful, he cannot sacrifice the thrill (“I’ve had to by no means dumb my skating down, but I’ve had to listen to my body.”). Though he gained notoriety over two decades ago, first as a child prodigy, then as a teenaged hearththrob, Sheckler has matured into his finest form in recent years, mastering sobriety and starting a family (while, of course, maintaining the same passion for the art of skating that fueled his childhood curiosity).
