Steps for the carrot plumcake
To make this delicious carrot plumcake, you need to prepare the batter. First, peel the carrots and grate them with a coarse grater. The weight of the carrots listed in the ingredients is for peeled carrots. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the two sugars and the grated zest of orange and lemon using a hand whisk for a few minutes. Then, add the oil and yogurt and mix well. Add the grated carrots and blend thoroughly. Finally, sift in the all-purpose flour, salt, and almond flour, and mix carefully. Lastly, add the baking powder and stir until you get a smooth batter. Butter and flour or line a loaf pan of 9-10 inches and pour in the batter. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 45-50 minutes. Do the toothpick test. Turn off, remove from oven, and let cool.
In a bowl, whip the cold mascarpone from the fridge with the cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar using electric beaters until you get a fluffy cream.
When the plumcake is cool, remove it from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Decorate the top with the cream cheese, grated carrots, and chopped almonds. I hope you enjoy this latest recipe of mine, see you next time friends.
STORAGE, TIPS, AND NOTES
Carrot cake or simply carrot plumcake keeps for a couple of days in the fridge covered by a cake dome; if you choose not to decorate the top, you can store it at room temperature for a few days. The batter can be enriched with walnuts, hazelnuts, or chocolate chips.
