Simple and Fluffy Carrot Cake

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1.5 cup sugar (240 ml cup)
• 0.5 cup oil (240 ml cup)
• 1.5 cup carrots (diced; 240 ml cup)
• 1.5 cup self-rising wheat flour (240 ml cup)
• 1 tbsp baking powder (additional to ensure fluffiness)

Steps

1. 1

   In a blender, add the 3 eggs, 1.5 cups of sugar, 0.5 cup of oil, and 1.5 cups of diced carrots.

2. 2

   Blend the mixture at maximum speed for about 3 to 5 minutes (the author recommends 4 minutes) until the mixture is completely homogeneous and without carrot pieces.

3. 3

   Transfer the blended liquid to a large bowl.

4. 4

   Gradually add the self-rising wheat flour, stirring well with a whisk or spatula until fully incorporated into the batter.

5. 5

   Add 1 tbsp of baking powder and mix gently until the powder is fully integrated into the batter.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into a previously greased and floured cake pan.

7. 7

   Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cake is golden and passes the toothpick test.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and carefully unmold.

Notes

The author mentions that while the cake is delicious on its own, a chocolate glaze pairs perfectly with this recipe. The reference cup used is 240 ml.
