Рецепт Orange Carrot Cake
Carrot cake is a cake which consists mixed with batter. The carrot softens in the cooking process and the cake usually has a soft, dense texture. This is the second time I baked this soft and moist carrot cake (the first carrot cake here) but this time I added orange juice, orange zest and with a hint cinnamon in the cake. It is also very easy to make this cake with just using a hand whisk and a rubber spatula to mix the batter well and in just with a couple of minutes it is ready to bake. Here is the recipe 160g Brown Sugar 3 Eggs 1/2 cup Corn oil or any vegetable oil (not peanut oil) 150g Carrot 100g Raisins 1 tbsp Orange zest 4 tbsp Orange juice (fresh) 180g Plain flour 1 tsp Baking soda 1tsp Ground cinnamon Method: Line a 7 inch square tin at all sides. Peel carrot and grate into shreds. Gently mix brown sugar, corn oil, orange juice and eggs till combined. Add shredded carrot, raisins and orange zest and mix well. Sift flour, baking soda and ground cinnamon together. Fold into the wet ingredients. Bake in preheated oven at 175C for 40-45 mins or use a skewer inserted into the the center of the cake comes out clean. Leave cake to cool and dust some icing sugar or snow powder on top. Place the cake in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator, you will find the cake is still soft and fresh even after five days. Enjoy! Kitchen note: For better cut of the cake, it is better to chill the cake for about an hour or more, as you can see my cake is quite crumbly because I can't wait to taste it ;D
