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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled cake for a few hours or until set. To serve, top with chocolate-flavored cream and enjoy!
