Carrot cake’s my favourite cake. Muffins can be done from anything you find in the fridge: bitter or sweet. Carrot dough is perfect for them. Below, my used for years recipe for both.
Ingredients:
For carrot cake (baked in a tin) mix eggs with sugar. Gradually add flour and oil. Mix all the time. Then add carrot. Finally add baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. You can add nuts if you want to. Bake for 40 mins in 180″C.
Chocolate coating for carrot cake:
Heat butter. Add sugar, cocoa and water. Stir and heat until it boils. Cover the cake with warm coating as it quickly gets thicker. Serve cut in squares with a spoonful of vanilla Danio cheese on top.
For muffins use two bowls. In one whisk together all the powdery ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nuts). In the other one whisk all the liquid ingredients (oil, eggs, grated carrot). Add wet ingredients to the powdery ones and stir. If the dough’s too dry, add oil or milk. Divide it between the muffin cups and bake for 25 mins. in 180″C.
Coconut coating for muffins:
Use mascarpone (optionally Danio cheese mixed with a little bit of cottage cheese to make it thicker). Cover the top of each muffin with cheese. Sprinkle with coconut chips.
Good luck and enjoy:)
