Carrot Kugel for Passover
On the first night of Passover, our family always gathers for a big family meal. I always make this Carrot Kugel for Passover which is like a fantastic carrot casserole which is baked in the oven.Â
To make this couldn’t be easier. Process cooked carrots in a food processor. To make the kugel mixture, add eggs, honey, oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix well. Pour the mixture into a glass baking dish. Sprinkle with a chopped nut and sugar mixture. Bake for an hour and enjoy.Â

I love these cute little carrot cakes, super easy to make and takes little to no time at all!
Made this for my daughters and they both ate it right up without a second thought, would recommend this cake for sure.
Hubby loved it, had it with some white wine on the side for our anniversary, was terrific.
Satisfied with how this turned out, going to be making this again since it's so simple to follow the steps.
Would say that carrot cake is my least favorite kind of cake but these are amazingly tasty, will be baking these again for sure.
Heaven on Earth, my kids enjoy this much more than I do and it's healthy! Well, sort've..LOL
Brilliant carrot kugel, shared this yummy dessert with my family and now I'll be cooking it once every week!
Very tasty and amazing fast to bake compared to most cakes, this carrot cake is officially bookmarked!
Would recommend this for anyone that likes crunchy desserts, very delightful dessert.
Mine turned out a bit dry even with the glaze but it was good.
This cake is delicious, baked this and the blueberry queso crumble cake for a birthday party and this turned out to be the favorite.
Does anyone know where I can get nutmeg or what I can replace it with? I can't seem to find it anywhere :(
Took me a while to make this masterpiece, was totally worth it, as this taste delicious.
Brought this too work a day after and ate it cold, should really stick to room temp for sure, it was still good but better warm.
Added a lot more vanilla glaze to my cake cause I like mine extra sweet! :)
Delightful dessert, happy with how it turned out, thanks for sharing the recipe.
Had this in the morning for breakfast with some tea and I have to say it's very filling.
Angelic little carrot kugel, great recipe and totally worth a try if you've never had it before.
It was a little dry so I added some caramel to the top as dressing and it was perfect!
Well done! Verified!
