APRON AND PANS - CARROT CAKE (NIGERIAN STYLE)
Ingredients
400gr grated carrots (about 8-10 carrots)
225 gr sugar
300 gr flour
4 eggs
150ml vegetable oil
Half teaspoon salt
1 leveled tablespoon baking powder
1 leveled tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon cinnamon
120 gr yogurt or heavy cream
(or use 90 gr milk + 30gr melted butter as substitute)
Preparation
Preheat the oven at 180ºC or 350ºF. Prepare the pan by first greasing the inside with butter and then dust lightly with flour.
In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and cinnamon together.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, yogurt, oil and sugar together until well combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture; mix well and finally add the grated carrots. Mix lightly until well incorporated and pour into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until the cake is done. (You'll know the cake is ready if a skewer dipped into the cake comes out clean, without any batter sticking to it)
Let the cake cool for a few minutes, then turn onto a rack and leave to cool completely. Serve and enjoy.
