Ingredients for Carrot Cakes

- 2 1/2 cups carrots

What You Need to Make Soft Carrot Muffins
- Muffin Tin
- Cupcake Liners
- Mixer
How to Make Carrot Cakes
Peel the carrots, trim the ends, and cut them into pieces. Transfer the carrots to a food processor and also add the vegetable oil. Blend until you get a soft orange cream.
Beat the egg with the sugar using an electric mixer for 4-5 minutes until you have a light and fluffy mixture. Add the carrot cream and mix. Continue by adding the zest of half a lemon, grated.
Continue the preparation by adding the sifted flour and baking powder. Mix well. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the paper liners in the special tin. Fill the liners 2/3 full with the batter. With these quantities, I got 8 muffins.
Bake the Carrot Treats in a preheated static oven for 14-16 minutes. Always do the skewer test to check the internal doneness of the cakes. Let them cool and decorate them as you like with some powdered sugar.

Loredana’s Tips
The Carrot Muffins remain soft for 2-3 days when stored in a container, and you can also freeze them
For delicious muffins, you can replace 50 grams of flour with 50 grams of almond flour or blended almonds
Instead of using paper liners with the special tin, you can also more conveniently use silicone or aluminum molds
You can decorate the cakes before baking with almond flakes
