Recipe for one cake:
- 2 eggs - 0.8 cup sugar - 0.8 cup flour - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (natural - see below) - 0.4 cup corn oil 4-5 Grated peeled carrots Icing: - 50g Philadelphia cheese - 30g soft butter - 0.8 cup Icing sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (natural) |
Instructions: |
Cake:
- Mix the sugar and eggs to a smooth batter - Mix the dry ingredients (flour, vanilla sugar and baking soda) in a separate bowl before mixing it in the batter (sugar and eggs) - Pour in the oil and carrot last and mix it to a smooth batter, pour into heavily buttered (unsalted) baking dish. - We find @staub_ca or glass dish ideal. - Bake it in the middle of the (ideally convection) oven on 350 F for 37 min Icing: Mix it together until a smooth batter and then smear it on top of the cake after it has cooled down a bit. PS: for natural vanilla sugar, simply put a few Madagascar or Reunion Island vanilla pods into a small mason jar with white sugar. Shake a bit once a day, to loosen sugar, for 3 days or so. Keep mason jar topped up every time you use the sugar, and you will be good for a couple of years of natural vanilla sugar. |
