Carrot and honey cake

It is a delicious recipe that your dad will love, especially if he runs away from sweets that are too sweet or chocolaty. Take note of this delicious recipe!

Before preparing the recipe you must decide which mold to use. If you’re using a tall pan, you’ll then need to split the cake in half crosswise to insert the frosting in the middle. Another option is to use a tray and make a thinner cake that you will then split in two to place one on top of the other with the frosting in between. If you choose this option, keep in mind that the baking time will be less.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of wheat flour
• 1 or 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of honey
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (or other vegetable oil to taste)
• 3 egg whites
• 1 whole egg
• 3 cups of grated carrot
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 200 gr of pineapple in syrup, drained (the approximate equivalent of a can)
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 glass of rum

For the glaze:

• 180 gr of cream cheese
• 3/4 cup of icing sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 or 1/2 teaspoons liquid vanilla

Step by step preparation:

1. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
2. In another larger bowl, beat the sugar, oil, honey, whole egg and a glass of rum. Add the flour mixture a little at a time until well integrated with a spatula.
3. Add the egg whites until stiff and mix carefully so as not to remove the air.
4. Flour the raisins.
5. Now add the grated carrot, walnuts, raisins and pineapple previously mashed with a fork to the mixture. Mix carefully.
6. Heat the oven to 180ºC.
7. Prepare the greased mold with butter and pour the mixture. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool before frosting.
8. For the frosting, beat the cream cheese with the icing sugar, cornstarch and vanilla until smooth. It is important that the cream cheese is taken out of the fridge a while before (depending on the room temperature) so that it softens and is easier to handle.
