I made the best carrot cake that fits perfectly on the Easter table and is very simple to prepare. I bought all the ingredients from Auchan Romania. Their own brand products are excellent! They have very good prices now for Easter and the offer is valid until May 7th! I found everything I needed: decorations for the Easter table, baking accessories, and egg dye. I got the whole list of ingredients for cakes, pascha, and scones, and found really good prices on lamb, groceries, sweets, and drinks. What I always like about Auchan is that they have a very varied range of products that I can choose from, both in stores and online at auchan.ro. Don't forget to use the MyCLUB Auchan loyalty card to benefit from all discounts and offers. Happy Easter!
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 375g carrots
- 6 eggs
- 300g unrefined brown sugar
- 200g white sugar
- 420g flour
- 450ml sunflower oil
- 1 sachet baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 100g walnut kernels
For the Cream:
- 500g mascarpone
- 2-3 tbsp vanilla powdered sugar
- 300ml liquid whipping cream
Method of Preparation
Prepare the Cake Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) with ventilation if available.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sunflower oil, both types of sugar, a pinch of salt, baking powder, and spices.
- Add the grated carrots and coarsely chopped walnuts to the mixture. Mix gently to combine.
- Pour the batter into a prepared baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake the Cake:
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven, take off the baking paper, and let it cool completely.
Prepare the Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the cream until it starts to thicken.
- Add the mascarpone and vanilla powdered sugar to the whipped cream. Mix for another 1-2 minutes until the cream thickens further.
Assemble the Cake:
- Once the cake is completely cool, remove the convex top part and save it for decoration. Then, cut the cake horizontally into two layers.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream on the bottom layer of the cake.
- Place the second layer on top and spread the remaining cream over the top and sides of the cake.
- Crumble the saved top part of the cake and use it to garnish.
Enjoy your delicious carrot cake! Happy Easter!
Notes:
- Make sure the cake is completely cool before adding the cream to prevent it from melting.
- You can adjust the sweetness of the cream by adding more or less powdered sugar according to your taste.
