Carrots (Shredded/Grated)

For Carrot Cake, precision is everything. Shredded carrots can be fluffy and airy or dense and wet depending on your grater. Measuring them by volume is risky: too much carrot weighs down the batter and makes it soggy. Weight ensures the perfect balance between moisture and structure.

FAQ

Hand-grated vs. Food Processor?

A food processor creates drier, coarser shreds that pack loosely. A hand box grater creates wetter, finer shreds that pack densely. 1 cup of hand-grated carrot is much heavier (and wetter) than 1 cup of machine-grated. Use grams to neutralize this variable.
