📝 Ingredients (for about 12 cakes)
- 170 g of fresh carrots (preferably with green tops and bright color)
- 140 g of flour 00
- 140 g of powdered sugar
- 70 g of almond flour (or peeled almonds to be chopped)
- 60 g of orange juice
- 40 g of seed oil
- 15 g of butter (or the same amount of oil)
- 2 eggs
- Grated zest of 1 untreated orange
- 1 pinch of salt
- 12 g of baking powder
👩🍳 Method
- Prepare the carrots: peel and grate them finely or chop them in a blender. Add the melted butter, oil, and orange juice. Blend until you obtain a fine puree.
- Beat the eggs with the sugar and orange zest until you get a light and frothy mixture.
- Add the almond flour, the carrot puree, then the flour 00, baking powder, and salt. Mix the mixture well.
- Pour the batter into the buttered molds, leaving 2-3 mm from the edge.
- Bake in a static oven at 180°C for 16-18 minutes (maximum 20). Do the toothpick test: it should come out dry but not overcooked!
💡 Tip: you can enrich them with a lemon glaze or a dusting of powdered sugar. Great even the next day!
