An unusual Brazilian Carrot Cake. Simple and Delicious! You won\u2019t find grated carrots, nuts, pineapple, or other dried fruits in it, and it isn\u2019t layered or topped with a cream cheese frosting. The preparation is very simple and basically comes down to blending the ingredients and combining them with flour. The result is a beautiful, fluffy cake in a sunny colour \u2014 the shade of carrots, pumpkin, or autumn leaves\u2026 It\u2019s also tempting to add some finely grated orange zest to the batter. The chocolate icing adds a touch of elegance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ingredients for the Brazilian carrot cake:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 250 ml rapeseed or sunflower oil<\/li>\n
• 220 g caster sugar<\/li>\n
• 4 large eggs<\/li>\n
• 3 medium carrots (approx. 330\u2013350 g in total)<\/li>\n
• 300 g plain flour<\/li>\n
• 2 tsp baking powder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  All ingredients should be at room temperature. Peel the carrots and cut them into slices.<\/p>\n

  Pour the oil into a bowl, add the sugar, eggs, and chopped carrots, and blitz with a blender until smooth. Sift the flour and baking powder directly into the mixture and whisk only until just combined – do not overmix.<\/p>\n

  Line the bottom of a 25 cm round tin with baking paper. Pour the batter into the tin.<\/p>\n

  Bake the Brazilian carrot cake at 170\u00b0C for about 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Once the cake has cooled completely, pour over the chocolate icing.<\/p>\n

  Ingredients for the chocolate icing:<\/span><\/p>\n

  \n
  • 200 ml milk<\/li>\n
  • 15 g butter<\/li>\n
  • 30 g honey or golden syrup<\/li>\n
  • 100 g dark chocolate, chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    To make the icing, heat the milk, butter, honey, and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until melted and smooth (about 5 minutes), creating a shiny icing.<\/p>\n

    Enjoy!<\/p>\n
