    Moist Carrot Cake | Bake to the roots

    This carrot cake is tasty, dense and moist. Did I mention delicious? Well – if you already like carrot cake, you will love this one – if you are new to the ‘carrot cake business’ you will fall in love (or something similar) :P

    I got this recipe from a friend and I have to say – it’s going to be a regular on the menu – for sure.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl beat the eggs with yogurt, oil, vanilla and orange zest. In a second bowl combine ground almonds, sugar, baking powder, salt and ginger powder. Add to the egg mixture and mix well. Stir in carrots.

    2. Pour into a greased 8 inch (20cm) cake pan and bake for about 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Let cool completely.

    3. For the frosting combine butter, cream cheese, sweetener and vanilla and beat until smooth. Spread the icing on the cake and cut with a warm knife into eight pieces.

    4. For the decoration carrots color on part of the marzipan with yellow and a small part with green to form 8 carrots. Place one carrot on each piece of cake.

    1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. In einer großen Schüssel die Eier mit dem Joghurt, Öl, Vanille Extrakt und Orangenschale aufschlagen. In einer zweiten Schüssel die gemahlenen Mandeln, Zucker, Backpulver, Salz und den gemahlenen Ingwer vermischen. Alles zusammenschütten und gut verrühren. Karotten unterrühren.

    2. In eine gefettete 20cm Springform füllen und für ca. 40 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Komplett auskühlen lassen.

    3. Für das Frosting die Butter aufschlagen, Frischkäse, Vanille Extrakt und Süßstoff (optional) zugeben und alles verrühren. Das Frosting auf dem Kuchen verteilen und dann mit einem warmen Messer in acht Stücke schneiden.

    4. Für die Marzipankarotten einen Teil des Marzipans mit gelb einfärben und einen kleinen Teil mit Grün. Daraus 8 Karotten formen und auf jedem Stück Kuchen platzieren.

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
