Ingredients
- 2 cups of flour.
- 250 grams of margarine.
- 1 cup of brown sugar.
- 2 cups of grated carrot.
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder.
- 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
- ½ cup of raisins or chopped almonds.
- 3 eggs.
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.
- ½ cup of orange juice.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
- Melt the margarine, let it cool, and blend with the carrot in a blender or food processor until you achieve a puree.
- In a bowl, combine the carrot puree and mix while alternately adding sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, raisins or almonds, and lastly, the orange juice.
- Grease a cake mold with butter and sprinkle some flour on its sides (this prevents the cake from sticking). Pour the mixture evenly.
- Bake at 200°C (392°F) for 40-45 minutes (check readiness by inserting a knife or skewer into the cake; if it comes out dry and clean, it's ready).
- Allow the cake to cool before unmolding, decorate as desired, and serve.
Enjoy your delicious homemade carrot cake!
