EDIT: due to the demand, here is Claire’s receipe, after the pictures…
I haven’t talked to you about my wonderful girlfriend Claire, she is a great cook. And today she made a “Carrot Cake”, when i was shooting on natural light and film only, her Chef D’oeuvre. have a good week y’all.
Claire’s receipe:
For a cake and four muffins :
300 g flour
25 ml oil
225 g sugar
6 grated carrots (+ or -)
4 eggs
150 g chopped walnuts
1 / 2 teaspoon salt
1 / 2 pack. of yeast
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 / 2 teaspoon nutmeg pinch
(my + : Soak half a cup of raisins for 10 minutes then drain)
For the frosting: i bought one (shame on me) but you can try with
150g cream cheese (Philadelphia cream cheese or St. Moret)
50g icing sugar
juice of half a lemon
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
In a bowl beat eggs and sugar. Add oil, beat again before adding the carrots. Add spices, salt, yeast, flour and nuts (and raisins if you like). Mix well.
Fill the cake pan with 3 / 4 and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
For muffins 25 minutes were enough to me.
Cool and wrap in foil for 1 to 2 days.
Voilà !
…I could kill for a slice of carrot cake and this one looks way more than delicious!
Does Claire mind about sharing the recipe?
here you go!
