Carrot cake

This recipe is dates back a long time, and I took it from a Hungarian friend of mine. Her name is Judith. She was a neighbour at my old apartment. I learned a lot from her. My children wouldn't eat carrots in a soup. When they tried Judith's carrot cake, they didn't even notice them. She deliberately didn't tell them and I also kept silent. Nobody noticed anything. Then, I immediately wrote down the recipe and knew that I had to prepare it in the evenings when they are asleep, otherwise I wouldn't be able to convincingly lie that the soup is carotless. And not only that, the cake tastes better when left overnight for the dough to absorb the orange juice and the cream. Later I was caught lying. I mistakenly wrote it down as a "carrot cake", so could no longer lie about "not containing any carrots" ... 😊

Carrot cake

Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs
  • 130g brown sugar
  • 300g flour
  • 6 large carrots chopped in a blender
  • 200g chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 sachet of baking powder
  • ½ tablespoon baking soda
  • Juice of 2 oranges
Cream
  • 500g mascarpone or some neutral cream cheese
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • Orange juice

Preparation:

Beat the eggs with the sugar as finely as for a cake. Be sure to add the flour (sifted on a strainer or sieve), finely chopped carrots and the rest of the ingredients and place in a cake tin no. 26. Cover the bottom with baking paper, and grease the sides of the dough with butter and bake at 170 degrees for about 30 minutes (check with a toothpick) whether the dough is nicely baked. Leave to cool. If desired, the dough can be cut into 2 parts, poured with orange juice and coated with cream in the middle. Cover with the second part of the dough and coat the whole cake with cream. Decoration is optional.
