Bolo De Cenoura-Brazilian Carrot Cake image

This is very different from an American carrot cake, but I prefer it. It is very easy and always surprises people. A great everyday cake.

Time 50m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -5 medium sized carrots, peeled and chopped
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups flour
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 tablespoons cocoa
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375.
  • In a blender combine eggs, sugar, oil, and carrots. Blend on high until all is combined and is a pureed mixture.
  • Combine the blended mixture with the flour in a bowl. Mix in the baking powder.
  • Pour batter into a cake pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out dry.
  • Meanwhile make the Chocolate Glaze.
  • Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it begins to boil, stirring constantly. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • When the cake is done let it cool. Once it is cool to touch, pour the chocolate glaze over it and let it harden a bit.
  • Serve and enjoy.
