Brazilian Carrot Cake Recipe
Carrot cupcakes are good all year round, but right now carrots are the sweetest and juiciest, so I suggest that you do not delay the preparation of this wonderful dessert for a minute! The cake turns out very tasty-moist (but not wet!), soft, tender, moderately sweet... This is the most that neither is a Brazilian recipe, moreover, it is already a classic of modern Brazilian baking. The dough for it is prepared in a very ordinary blender, which is very convenient. As the Brazilians say- " Misturou, está pronto!" ("mixed and done!"). And Bolo de cenoura is unthinkable without chocolate icing, so do not exclude it, especially since it differs from the usual options.
