Carrot Cake

Hey everyone!

Tonight I bring a simple and delicious recipe.

This is a Brazilian recipe of Carrot Cake. It's a great choice when preparing your morning/afternoon tea.

Let's face it, everything is better with cake. ;)

So, let's get to it.

Ingredients:

- 3 eggs
- 3 medium size carrots
- 2 cups of plain flour
- 2 cups of white or caster sugar
- 3/4 cup of canola oil
- 1 tbsp of baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt

Like I said, this is very simple. All you have to do is pre-heat the oven at 180ºc; peal and chop the carrots and blend it with all the ingredients together.

Place the mix in a greased and floured tin.

Take it to the oven for about 30 min or until a skewer when inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.

For the frosting, another easy recipe.

In a sauce pan add 1/2 tbsp of butter, 3 tbsp of sugar and 2 of chocolate powder.

Take it to medium heat until melted.

Add 2 tbsp of thickened cream and that's it!

Just cover the cake while still hot and wait for it to cool down before serving it - although some people prefer eating while it's still hot. ;)

I hope you like it.

See you next time.

Cheers,
Dee.

Hey guys!

I just wanted to thank everyone who showed up at the event on Tuesday. It was really great!

We were able to successfully complete our assignment and collect a great amount of feedback.

I read it all during this week and value very much your opinion, and I will definitely take them into consideration for our next event!

I would also like to thank the support from everyone at MnM Institute and Michelle Smalley for making our beautiful logo and branding!

For those who couldn't make it, don't be sad, there will be a next time for sure! =D

Here's a little taste of how the event was.

In our stand, we had three different flavours of cupcakes:

- Dee Original - Chocolate Truffle
- Dee Jaffas - Orange with chocolate
- Dee Everyone - Chocolate Gluten free with fruit jam filling

And we also had the traditional Brazilian sweets:

- Brigadeiro - Chocolate balls
- Beijinho - Coconut balls
- Cajuzinho - Peanut brigadeiro

It was a great experience and I've learnt a lot. I hope you all had fun and enjoyed it.

If you have any suggestions of flavours and sweets you would like to see on our next event, I would love to hear it! Just leave a comment here on the blog or even in our Facebook page!

Until next time!!

Thank you.

Cheers.
