Ingredients
- For the carrot cake:
-
3 medium carrots (about 300g), peeled and chopped
-
3 eggs
-
1 cup vegetable oil
-
2 cups of sugar
-
2 cups of wheat flour
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
A bit of salt
- For the chocolate topping:
-
4 tablespoons of chocolate powder
-
2 tablespoons of butter
-
2 tablespoons of milk
-
1 cup of sugar
Preparation mode
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and flour a cake pan.
- In a blender, place the chopped carrots, eggs and oil. Mix until you get a smooth mixture.
- In a large bowl, mix the sugar, wheat flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt.
- Pour the blender mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the chocolate frosting. In a pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the chocolate powder, milk and sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the cake is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes in the pan. Then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- When the cake is completely cool, pour the chocolate frosting over it, spreading it evenly.
- Let the chocolate frosting harden before cutting and serving the cake. You can speed up this process by placing the cake in the refrigerator for a while.
- Serve the carrot cake with chocolate frosting and enjoy!
