It is a simple cake, yet rich and flavorful, ideal for any occasion. Plus, it is easy to make, even for those who do not have much experience in the kitchen. Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 30-35 minutes Total time: 55-60 minutes Number of servings: 12 Ingredients for the cake: - 300 g grated carrot - 200 g sugar - 150 ml sunflower oil - 4 large eggs - 250 g flour - 1 packet of baking powder (10 g) - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - A pinch of salt - 100 g chopped nuts (optional) Ingredients for the cream cheese frosting: - 200 g cottage cheese or Philadelphia cheese - 100 g butter, at room temperature - 150 g powdered sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla Step 1: Preparing the cake Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Prepare a baking tray (size 25x35 cm) that you can line with baking paper. This step will prevent the cake from sticking to the tray and will make cutting easier. In a large bowl, combine the grated carrot, sugar, and sunflower oil. Mix well to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing continuously until everything is well incorporated. Step 2: Mixing the dry ingredients In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. This step will ensure a fluffy cake, as air will be effectively incorporated into the flour mixture. If you choose to use nuts, you can add them now. Step 3: Combining the ingredients Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet carrot mixture, gently folding with a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid over-mixing, as this can lead to a dense cake. When everything is well combined, pour the batter into the prepared tray. Step 4: Baking Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. After baking, let the cake cool completely in the tray. Step 5: Preparing the cream cheese frosting Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a bowl, beat the butter with the powdered sugar and vanilla until you achieve a smooth and creamy mixture. Add the cottage cheese and continue mixing until everything is homogeneous. Step 6: Assembling the cake Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly on top. You can decorate the cake with chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an attractive look. Serving suggestion: Serve the carrot cake alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a café-like experience. This cake is perfect to enjoy at breakfast or as a dessert at the end of a meal. Possible variations: You can experiment with various ingredients, adding crushed pineapple for extra moisture or dark chocolate for a decadent touch. You can also use mascarpone cheese for a richer frosting. This carrot cake recipe is not only simple but also full of interesting flavors and textures. Try it and enjoy its delight!
