Ingredients
- 200 grams of sugar
- 150 ml sunflower oil
- 2 eggs
- 200 grams of grated carrot
- 150 grams of flour
- 2 teaspoons yeast
- a pinch of salt
- A small teaspoon of cinnamon powder
- A handful of chopped walnuts
- 250 grams of spreadable cheese
- 200 grams of powdered sugar
- A teaspoon of vanilla essence
Preparation
- We begin by preheating the oven to 190º C. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat together the sugar, sunflower oil, eggs and grated carrot until obtaining a homogeneous mixture.
- Little by little we add the previously sifted flour, the yeast, the salt and the cinnamon. We continue mixing until these ingredients are completely integrated.
- Add the chopped walnuts and mix once more to distribute them evenly in the dough.
- We pour the preparation into an 18 cm mold previously lined with baking paper and place in the oven. Cook for about 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Once ready, remove from the oven and let it cool. When it is cold, we cut the cake in half.
- For the topping, in another container, mix the spreadable cheese with the icing sugar and vanilla essence until you obtain a smooth cream.
- We spread a part of the cream on one of the halves of the cake and place the other half on top. We cover the entire cake with the remaining cream.
This cake is the ideal dessert for any occasion. Whether for a snack with friends, a birthday or simply to enjoy at home, carrot cake never disappoints.
