Spicy Carrot Cake with Cream Recipe
I invite all cooks to treat themselves to a very easy-to-prepare spicy carrot cake. A piquant, fragrant pie with healthy carrots, walnuts and vanilla cream is just great. The perfect combination of a delicate mascarpone cream with vanilla and a spicy sponge cake will be an excellent addition to tea on cold autumn days. As for the decor, natural dishes are becoming more and more relevant today - I decorated the top of the cake with grated carrot straws.

Ingredients
For the dough:
- 135 gram Carrot
- 200 gram Brown sugar
- 2 pieces Chicken eggs
- 70 gram Walnuts
- 5 gram Baking powder
- 3 gram Soda
- 155 gram Flour wheat / Flour
- Orange zest
- 120 ml Vegetable oil
- 2 gram Cinnamon
- 1 gram Nutmeg
- 80 gram Fruit puree apple
For the cream:
- 250 gram Mascarpone
- 60 gram Sugar powder
- 4 ml Extract (vanilla)
For the decoration:
- 1 piece Carrot
Instructions
- Grate the carrots on a fine grater, if the juice appears, you need to squeeze it out. The weight should be 135 grams.
- Pre-weigh the brown sugar and rub the orange zest on top.
- In a bowl, mix eggs, odorless vegetable oil, brown sugar and orange zest.
- Then add baking soda and baking powder to the mass for the dough.
- Now add wheat flour, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg. Stir the mass.
- Chop the walnut coarsely and add to the cooked mass.
- Now add applesauce to the dough. Mix it.
- And then add the grated carrots. Mix everything together.
- The dough turns out to be quite thick.
- Pour the dough into a metal ring (wrap the bottom of the ring with foil). The diameter of the mold is 18 cm.
- Bake the pie in the oven at 150 degrees until ready. Focus on your oven. It took me 45-50 minutes to bake.
- Cover the finished cake with parchment and leave to cool on the grill.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream. It's simple, it cooks quickly, but for a carrot cake it's just the perfect pair. Try to keep the cheese warm for at least an hour. In a bowl, mix mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar. Add the "Creamy Vanilla" flavor. Just mix until smooth, you can use a mixer. (Remember that mascarpone can peel off if it is beaten for a long time).
- Apply the prepared cream on top of the cake.
- For decoration, I rubbed carrots with straws and decorated the pie with it. You can decorate the cake to your liking.
- Bon appetit!
