Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the grated carrots and raisins until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the carrot mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the kugel is set in the center and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares or servings.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
