Ingredients
- 300g of carrots
- 300g flour
- 150g sugar
- 3 eggs
- salt
- A packet of vanilla sugar
- 150ml oil
- A teaspoon of cinnamon
- Zest of an orange
- 150g cream cheese
- 100ml maple syrup
Preperation
- First preheat the oven to 180°C top/bottom heat. Peel the carrots and grate on the coarse side of the square grater. Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Add the carrots and mix together with the orange zest, eggs and oil to form a homogeneous dough. This works best with a spatula. Pour the dough into a buttered cake tin and bake for about 25 minutes at 180°C top/bottom heat.
- For the topping, mix together the cream cheese and maple syrup until smooth and pipe onto the cake slices using a piping bag once the cake has cooled completely. Marzipan carrots, chopped pistachios and cinnamon powder are suitable as decoration.
