Preparation Steps
Step 1
Gather all necessary ingredients: sift the flour, thoroughly wash and peel the carrots, and prepare the baking pan. This will help make the cooking process easy and enjoyable.
Step 2
Grate the carrots finely, then blend them into a smooth puree. The finer the carrot mixture, the lighter and softer your cake will be.
Step 3
In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg with sugar and a pinch of salt until a fluffy white foam forms. This base will give the pie lightness and tenderness.
Step 4
Add kefir and baking powder to the egg-sugar mixture. Gently stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Step 5
Gradually add the sifted flour in small portions. After each addition, thoroughly mix the dough to avoid lumps and achieve perfect smoothness.
Step 6
Pour the vegetable oil into the batter, then add the carrot puree. Mix thoroughly until a uniform consistency is achieved, ensuring the carrot is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a baking dish. Pour the batter into the dish and gently smooth the surface.
Step 8
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. The pie should develop an appetizing golden-brown crust. After baking, let it cool slightly in the pan before removing. This will help it maintain its shape and tenderness.
Step 9
Serve this wonderful carrot cake, garnishing each slice with powdered sugar, fragrant orange zest, and fresh mint. It pairs perfectly with a cup of hot cocoa, creating a cozy atmosphere.
