  • 3 medium eggs
  • 400 gr carrots (14 oz or 5 medium)
  • 120 ml vegetable oil (4.5 oz)
  • 200 gr all purpose flour (1 1/3 cup)
  • 45 gr tapioca starch (1/3 cup)

  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice mix (or a mix of cinnamon & nutmeg)
  • 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 medium orange, zest only
Instructions
  1. Peel the carrots, chop them roughly and place them in a food processor. Pulse for 1 minute to obtain a sandy texture. Add the oil and mix up until obtaining a smooth cream texture. Set it aside.

  2. In a container mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and pumpkin spices. Set it aside.

  3. In a large bowl whisk together the sugar with the eggs up until obtaining a pale yellow foamy mix.

  4. Add the carrot puree and mix. Slowly add the flour mix to the batter, whisk together. Add also the tapioca starch. Combine well. At last, add the orange zest and mix.

  5. Transfer the batter in a loaf pan mold (5x10inch) and bake the cake in preheated oven to 400F for 45/50 minutes.

    To check if the cake is done, you want a toothpick inserted in the center to come out clean. Remove from the mold and let the cake cool down for 10 minutes. Place the cake on the serving plate.

  6. Prepare your Holiday decoration cutting out the word “Grateful” from a piece of construction paper, the shape of your cake mold. Place the construction paper on top of the cake and dust with powdered sugar. Gently remove the paper and serve!
