Preparation
We wash the carrots thoroughly and peel them.
We put them in a mixer, mince them finely and add the oil.
We continue to mix until we obtain a nice
smooth and homogeneous carrot cream.
In a bowl, whisk the whole eggs with the sugar
at maximum speed for 10 minutes.
until the mixture is swollen and frothy.
At this point, add the carrot cream.
And the grated orange peel to the mixture.
We mix well until the carrots are absorbed. We
combine, little by little, the sifted flour.
The almond powder.
the yeast a pinch of salt and mix well. Now
add the orange juice
and mix again.
We take a 24 cm diameter cake pan and sprinkle it with seed oil (or
butter) and flour.
We pour the mixture and bake at 180 °,
ventilated, for 45-50 minutes.
For an even softer cake, we use the Combisteam
oven, choosing ventilated + steam cooking and setting the temperature of 180 °
for 45-50 minutes.
Remember that the interior remains damp, so
the test toothpick that we will use to evaluate the cooking will never be
perfectly dry.
Once cooked, sprinkle our cake with icing
sugar and serve.
