carrot cake

the simplest and yet delicious cake that anyone can make!

i n g r e d i e n t s :

• 2 big carrots (or 3 medium size)
• 3 eggs
• 200 grams of butter
• 2 cups of sugar
• 2 cups of flour
• baking soda

p r e p a r a t i o n :

pre-heat oven to 180°C

peel the carrots and grate them. melt the butter (reserve some for greasing the pan later).

in a mixer, add the melted butter, the grated carrots, the sugar and the eggs. mix it well.

in a bowl, add this cream to the flour, mix well. add the baking soda and mix with a spoon.

grease a baking pan with butter
pour the dough in it
put it in the oven for about 30-40 minutes

as a personal tip, I like to sift all the dry ingredients just to make sure there are no lumps. it is very hard, if not impossible, to get rid of them once the carrot cream is poured on it.

the classic carrot cake has a chocolate topping, but I prefer mine with less calories, it is delicious without it too!

adding the baking soda when you're done with mixing and stirring it with a spoon is a tip my mom gave me. I am not exactly sure why, but she says one shouldn't mix the baking soda with the mixer. go figure!
