sugar, and sugar in another bowl. Stir in grated carrots.
4. Gradually add the mixture of dry ingredients and stir until a
homogeneous paste is obtained.
5. Butter two 8-inch (20 cm) round molds, then spread the dough over. Bake

carrot ribbons and stir gently. Decorate the cake with the carrot ribbons.
