JUMP TO RECIPE

I remember that the first cake I made was a carrot cake. Initially, I made it taste its flavor. I used a few ingredients for the preparation, yes, I got some pretty sweet carrots, so in that first recipe, I used minimal sweetener. These provided the necessary. Over time I improved the recipe because I began to add some ingredients to the mixture such as coconut, almonds, cinnamon, and raisins, which improved a lot.

Carrot cake

When preparing this dessert, I have found that there is no unique way to make it because, for this, you can use spices such as nuts, ginger, or nutmeg, which cannot be missing, also for the cover you can use creams of different flavors and textures. In this regard, I think that the way it prepared is delicious, perfect for eating at any time, accompanying it with a precious glass of milk or a hot coffee.

The preparation of this cake is quite easy. It is similar to the recipe of auyama cake that you find in this blog; however, in this one, the carrots must be raw to grate them manually or steamed to process or liquefy them. I prefer to do it first since it remains juicier and adds enough color to the mixture.

Dish with Carrot cake

It is also important that the following tricks be taken into account in the preparation so that it is quite delicious:

  • Added each of the ingredients in order, as the preparation shows and beat the mixture very well so that it becomes creamy. On this depends the softness of the cake.
  • For baking, a baking dish must be used that allows heat to circulate properly throughout the mixture and to check if a clean and dry knife is ready if it comes out in the same way it means that is ready to let cool and consume.
  • Dried fruits can use in the mixture, such as nuts, hazelnuts, raisins, grated coconut, or sweet peanuts.
  • If you like carrot, you can also consume it in salty preparations such as soups, steamed, stews, or juices and desserts, you can even eat it raw in salads or use it to color the preparations or as a thickener.
