Ingredients
- 1/2 kg of peeled chopped carrots
- 1 cup soybean oil
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 500 g icing sugar
- For the Truffle Cream:
- 500 g semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 1/2 cups cream
- 1/3 cup rum
- 2 cups whipped cream
- For the Topping:
- 2 cups Chocolate Flavored Cream
Instructions
- Make the Cake Base: Start by placing the peeled and chopped carrots, soybean oil, and eggs in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and icing sugar. Combine this with the blended carrot mixture until fully incorporated.
- Bake the Layers: Pour the batter into a greased mold and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 30 minutes. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely before slicing it into thin layers.
- Prepare the Truffle Cream: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Once melted, mix in cream and rum until fully blended. Finally, fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and airy.
- Assemble the Cake: In a removable bottom mold, layer the carrot slices with a generous spread of truffle cream in between. Continue until all layers are used, finishing with a layer of truffle cream on top.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled cake for a few hours or until set. To serve, top with chocolate-flavored cream and enjoy!
