Carrot Cake - Bolo de Cenoura


Carrot Cake
Carrot Cake (Bolo de Cenoura in Portuguese), cake which consists of grated carrot mixed with batter. The carrot softens in the cooking process, and the cake usually has a soft, dense texture. The carrots themselves enhance the flavor, texture and appearance of the cake.

- 1/2 cup of milk;
- 3 carrots (medium) grated;
- 3 eggs;

- 2 1/2 cups of flour;
- 1 tablespoon of baking soda;

DESCRIPTION
Warm up the oven to 180°c and prepare the baking pan. Mix all the wet ingredients (carrots, eggs, oil and sugar) together with a blender for 5 minutes. Add the dry ingredients and mix it till it gets a even mixture. Bake it at 180°c for 30 minutes or until it's dry.

OPTIONS

oi daniel, acabei de fazer este bolo que poderia ter ficado delicioso se nao fosse a sugestao do 'olive oil'.

atençao para quem fizer o bolo: use qualquer oleo de sabor neutro!!!!

o meu bolo ficou com gosto de azeite e nem com cobertura de chocolate deu pra disfarçar.
uma pena!
mas tirando isso, a receita e' boa!

Obrigado pela dica, Claudia!
Eu mudei a receita, tirei o azeite por um oleo comum de cozinha...
Ainda preciso decidir qual óleo seria melhor, de girassol, de soja, etc..

Abraços!
