CARROT CAKE

Everybody knows that the most popular cake in US is Carrot Cake, there are so many recipes in the Internet but which one is the original one or which taste the best? I was looking for a good recipe almost half year I tried about 5 different cakes and found one which in my opinion taste really good.

Ingredients:

• 250 g unsalted butter, room temperature
• 375 g sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
• 625 g flour
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 125 g nuts, chopped
• 250 ml milk

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

Peel and finely grate the carrots.

In bowl whisk together butter and sugar, then add eggs, carrots and vanilla

In another bowl mix dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and put it together with butter mix. Then add milk to that. Now you have to stir it really precisely. Finally, add the nuts and mix it once again.

Put the dough into springform pan (25cm).

Baking time: ca. 40 minutes It depends on the oven, so just check with

wooden skewer if it's baked.

You can sprinkle cake with icing sugar but...

If you want to have original one you should make Cheese Frosting:

Ingredients:

• 100 g cream cheese( like Philadelphia)
• 1 teaspoon milk
• 250 g icing sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar

First, the cream cheese with milk until smooth. Then add the vanilla sugar and finally thesifted icing sugar, stir thoroughly. The frosting on the carrot cake spread. Since thefrosting runs like it when it's warmer, place the cake with the frosting always cool.
