Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 7 oz carrots
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 0.56 oz baking powder (for desserts)
- 3 eggs
Steps
Preheat the oven to 356°F.
Start by carefully washing and peeling the carrots. Once cleaned, finely grate them and set aside. Beat the eggs in a large bowl with the brown sugar until you get a frothy and homogeneous mixture.
Add the vegetable oil to the egg and sugar mixture and mix well.
Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour into the liquid mixture, stirring with a spatula or whisk until you get a smooth and lump-free consistency. Once you have a homogeneous dough, add the grated carrots and gently mix until they are evenly distributed in the dough. Finally, add the baking powder for desserts to the mixture and mix well.
Butter and flour a 9-inch bundt pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
Pour the prepared mixture into the pan and level the surface with a spatula.Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean and dry.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your meal! Arrange the slices of cake on a dessert plate and enjoy, perhaps accompanied by a dusting of powdered sugar or a light cream. Happy snack!
