But one thing you just have to be cautious of when baking carrot cakes is acknowledging that the right amount of ingredients ought to be used so as to get that ideal texture and feel you want. It can be extremely moist and soft but if you miss out the right proportion of ingredients, then one would know the difference.
One thing I like about this recipe is that you can easily make it with easily available ingredients at home and requires less tasks. The only main task is peeling and cutting the carrots but I don't count this as any task though.
Once you have the carrots ready, just throw them into the blender or food processor, add the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar and vanilla flavour then give the combo a good blend until smooth.
Then sift the flour into a clean bowl, add the baking powder and mix before pouring the carrot mixture. Give the combination a good mix then pour into a greased baking pan before popping into a pre-heated oven to bake. Just as simple as that and you will immediately have for yourself and all the members of your crew a deliciously-baked carrot cake for your delight!!!
Making the chocolate icing is pretty simple as well ~ ~ ~ Just add the chocolate, milk, honey and butter in a pot, cook over low heat while stirring continuously until the mixture dissolves. Just be at alert to stir the chocolate mixture continuously so as to avoid forming any clumps
Once dissolved, you can then pour the chocolate icing over the cake and there you are ~ ~ ~ delicious carrot cake with chocolate icing for your delight.
