My computer crashed, so I
had to go in to the office (in the middle of my maternity leave period). Doing
so requires a cake – at least in the eyes of my colleagues, so I made a carrot
cake and disguised it as a basket with little apples and pears made out of
marzipan. They were well pleased and the computer was fixed.
The recipe:
300 grams of finely grated
carrots soaked in 1 ½ dl sun flower oil for a least an our.
200 gram of brown sugar
beaten light with 2-3 eggs (120 grams). Add 200 grams of flour, 1 tea spoon of
salt, 2 tea spoon baking powder, 2 tea spoons of cinnamon and 2 table spoon
vanilla sugar. Add the carrots. Bake for 45 min at 170 degrees.
The "basket" was royal icing with added cocoa powder.
