Instructions
- 1. 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch or similar baking dish.
- 2. 2. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice. Mix everything thoroughly. Pour the carrot mixture into your prepared baking dish.
- 3. 3. Prepare the topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in the milk until a soft dough forms. Drop spoonfuls of this dough evenly over the carrot filling.
- 4. 4. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling bubbles around the edges. A skewer inserted into the topping should come out clean.
- 5. 5. Let your carrot cake cobbler cool slightly before serving.
