Инструкции

  1. "A characteristic sweet of southern India is carrot halvah, a rich, sweet reduction of carrots and spices which is almost fudgelike in consistency. This cake falls somewhere between this traditional treat and the popular American carrot cake. It has a dense texture and the unexpected flavor of cardamom, yet doesn't require the tedious cooking and stirring of a halvah.
  2. "Special Indian dishes are often decorated with silver foil - a microscopic thin sheet of edible, flavorless real silver, available in Indian groceries. We have cut edible foil into decorative shapes - a tedious business which must be done in a completely draftless room - but more manageable solid toppings are customary.
  3. "Serve this nontraditonal ending to your Indian meal with coffee which has been brewed with a few cardamom seeds."
  4. Rub a round cake pan which is 9 inches in diameter and 1-1/2 inches in height with the vegetable oil and then dust it very lightly with flour. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  5. Sift 1 c. flour with the baking soda and salt.
  6. Beat the Large eggs well in a large bowl. Add in the cardamom, sugar, and clarified butter. Keep beating till all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  7. Add in the sifted flour mix to the ingredients in the large bowl and fold it in gently with a spatula. Add in the carrots, pistachios, almonds, and raisins. Fold them in gently as well.
  8. Turn the cake batter into the oiled and floured cake pan and bake for 35 to 45 min, or possibly till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown red. Decorate top iwth edible silver foil.
