The recipe was given to me by a friend who received it from her guest mother in Brazil, and it has become a family favorite ever since. In Brazil it is called bolo de cenoura.
You can prepare the batter in a blender or in a food processor.
Ingredients:
- 2 large carrots
- 150 ml vegetable oil
- 240 g sugar
- 2 eggs
- a pinch of salt
- 240 g flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Combine carrots, eggs, oil, sugar and salt in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth. Add the (sifted) flour and baking powder, process until a batter forms. Pour into a baking dish (I used my new IKEA reactangular baking pan, which was perfect) and bake in a medium hot oven until done (test with a toothpick).
Of course you could add any frosting you like with carrot cake, but we prefer this plain.
