Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Stand Mixer
  • Baking Dish equivalent in size to a 9x9"
  • Medium Bowl

Ingredients

  • 7 Cups Carrots peeled and chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons Flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg ground
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Cup Butter room temperature
  • ½ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 4 Whole Eggs beaten and room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Powdered Sugar optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • Add carrots to large pot of water. Bring to a boil and boil the carrots until very tender (approximately 20 minutes). Drain well and add to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the cooked carrots until their texture begins to resemble purée.
  • Add butter and sugar to the puréed carrots and beat until smooth.
  • Add eggs one at a time, then the vanilla extract, mixing after each until just combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Fold in the flour mixture and mix until combined.
  • ​​Pour the carrot mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 55-60 minutes until lightly browned and the center is no longer liquid.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes, and if desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

To prepare ahead of time, mix the ingredients and refrigerate in the casserole dish for up to a day. Bake just before serving.
Tips for the Best Carrot Soufflé
Carrot soufflé is a simple recipe, but there are some key elements that can take it to the next level. Follow these tips for consistently perfect carrot soufflé:
  • Selecting Your Carrots – Choose fresh and firm carrots for the best flavor and texture.
  • Preparing Your Carrots – Cooking the carrots until they’re very tender will bring out their natural sweetness. Additionally, using a hand blender (or regular high-powered blender) to puree the carrots until smooth will help create a light and fluffy texture in your carrot soufflé recipe.
  • Don’t Overmix – Gently fold to mix in your dry ingredients. Overmixing the batter will lead to a dense soufflé.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients – Allowing your ingredients to come to room temperature will allow for even mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Leave the Oven Door Closed – Resist the urge to open the oven door during baking time. This can cause the soufflé to sink.
