Today I will share a
Brasilian carrot cake recipe with you. Brasilians love cakes. I am not talking cupcakes as the ones I am
particularly in love with. They love big cakes, as big as their personalities.
Cakes that are big enough to feed a troop. What is special about our carrot
cake? It is simply carroty. Contrary to the carrot recipes that we find so
often in cookery books in the UK where I live, in Brasil people do not have the habit of adding dried fruits to their
carrot cake. It is quite often carrots, vegetable oil, eggs, flour, baking
powder and sugar. The carrot takes center stage. The touch is the chocolate topping.
Yes, you read it right, C H O C O L A T E. No, it isn’t odd. It works pretty
well. Perhaps it wouldn’t go well with the typical carrot cake of this neck of
the woods where I now live.
To celebrate
this Brasilian institution, the carrot cake the Brasilian way, I chose a recipe that
was passed on by Ana’s grandmother. Not passed on directly to me by the grandma since
we never met, but by Ana who is another fellow Brasilian. It is Grandmother
Anna’s Carrot Cake. – I believe that her grandmother’s name was also Anna. The
recipe even asks for blender. Blenders are very important household objects in
Brasil and more than food processors they are very much used in every day
recipes.

Main Ingredients:
4 medium carrots,
peeled and grated
3 medium eggs
2 cups of sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 cups plain flour
1 tablespoon baking
powder
Chocolate Icing
2 tablespoons cocoa
powder
2 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons milk
8 tablespoons sugar
Grease a bundt pan and
reserve. Pre-heat the oven to 180oC.
Take the grated
carrot, the eggs, the vegetable oil and sugar and put it all in the blender. Whiz
it long enough to blend it all together but being careful not to over do it
otherwise it might alter the consistency or even the colour of the cake. Pour
the mixture in a mixing bow and add the dry ingredients, stirring well. Transfer
the mixture to the prepared bundt pan and bake for approximately 40 min. Leave it to cool on a
rack
Meanwhile put all the
icing ingredients in a saucepan and stir it until the butter has melted and the
mixture has thickened. Pour it over the cake whilst still hot.
** Please note that the cup measurement used is 250ml.

Wow... what an excellent Brasilian carrot cake. It is very testy cake and also it looking very cool.
