INGREDIENTS :

  • CAKE 

    3 eggs 

    2 1/2dl sugar

    1/2dl brown sugar

    3dl flour

    3 tsp baking powder

    1/2 tsp salt 

    1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

    1 1/2 tsp cardamom (optional)

    1 tsp vanilla sugar

    400g carrots

    1 1/2dl rapeseed oil

  • FROSTING

    70g butter

    140g cream cheese

    Lime zest from one lime

    3dl icing sugar

RECIPE :

  • First, preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.

  • Mix thoroughly the eggs, sugar and brown sugar together. The dough should be very fluffy.

  • Then, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cardamom (optional) and vanilla sugar.

  • Afterwards, hand grate, use pre-grated carrots or use a food processor and add rapeseed oil. Mix everything together. 

  • Place the cake in the middle of the oven for 50-55 minutes. If your oven is very hot, leave it for 45 minutes. To check if the cake is cooked enough, take a knife and make a small hole in it. If the knife comes out without dough on it, it is ready. Let cake cool off completely before adding frosting on.

  • Mix together (easiest with an electric mixer) the butter, cream cheese, lime zest and icing sugar. Taste and dose it as you like. Put the frosting on your cake and enjoy!
