When I first heard about carrot cake, my heart refused. what? Can carrots make cakes? This is probably a lot of people's inner OS for carrot cake people.
In fact, in the Commonwealth countries, carrot cake is very popular. I remember asking a few foreigners around me about what kind of cakes and desserts I like to eat, and I mentioned carrot cake. I must admit that I was disdainful at the time. Also, I saw carrot cakes sold in coffee shops and dessert shops. They were dark in color and strong in texture. They looked very sweet and greasy, which completely made me uninterested.
I made carrot cake this time because of a friend’s girlfriend’s birthday, and I went to study when he pointed out that he wanted carrot cake. Unexpectedly, there are so many recipes, so many people give it very high evaluation. "The most heartwarming dessert.", "The simplest and most authentic taste.", "Reminiscent of the beauty of childhood." And so on.
So with curiosity, I made a carrot cake very carefully. This recipe was adjusted after I googled many recipes. There are always many popular versions, some with a lot of spices, some like to add various nuts, and some add dried fruits such as raisins. After reading a lot of recipes, I finally decided not to add nuts and dried fruits, but only carrots and cinnamon to create a simple, pure and sweet fragrance.
The fixed match with carrot cake must be cream cheese frosting. Seeing that the amount of oil and sugar in various recipes remains high, I also changed the ratio myself. Because carrot cake not only has a solid texture, but also has a very high fat content. I personally think that the light sourness of the cream cheese frosting should be highlighted to balance the firm texture and thick flavor of the carrot cake. The two complement each other.
With a hint of doubt, put the batter into the oven. After half an hour, the house was already filled with an unusually strong fragrance. I finally let go of my anxiety. After baking it, I tasted a little bit, it is very fragrant and delicious, and I can’t help but continue eating after one bite. It seems that such a classic and popular cake is really not worthy of its name!
So I decided to rehabilitate carrots properly!
