Brazilian Carrot Cake

The top of the Brazilian carrot cake after the brigadeiro was poured over it.

Ingredients for the cake

Here are the ingredients you will need to make the cake batter:

• Carrots – in the recipe card below, I’ve said to use 300g. Make sure to weigh them after you have peeled the carrots, not before.
• Granulated sugar – caster sugar works too.
• Vegetable oil – any flavourless oil does work, but I like to use vegetable oil.
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Plain flour – also known as all purpose flour.
• Baking powder
• Salt – just a small amount to help enhance the flavours.
