A favorite Colombian breakfast cake, torta de zanahoria gets a more heart-healthy version with olive oil in the batter. Evenly distributing the grated carrots and walnuts through the batter helps the cake cut into neat slices for a crowd.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Beat the eggs and sugar

7 min

Beat the eggs, sugar, and olive oil until thick and foamy.

2

Add the dry ingredients

5 min

Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla into the mixture.

3

Fold in the carrots and walnuts

5 min

Fold the grated carrots and crushed walnuts into the batter.

4

Pour into the pan

3 min

Pour the batter into a greased cake pan.

5

Bake

40 min

Bake in a preheated oven for 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Reminder

Add the carrots at the end; if mixed in too early, the batter may release liquid and the center of the cake may collapse. Allergens: wheat (gluten), egg, and tree nuts (walnuts).

Kalıbım daha derin olduğu için 40 dakika yerine 50 dakikada kürdan temiz çıktı, on dilimlik kekin ortası ilk denememde hafif çiğ kalmıştı, ikinci seferde süreyi baştan uzattım.
