Carrot Cake with Chocolate Sauce
Ingredients
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 carrots, quartered
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 6 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius. To prevent the cake from sticking, lightly spray a 10-inch round baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and dust it evenly with flour.
2
Mix together 2 cups of granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and grated carrots in a high-speed blender until you achieve a silky, smooth consistency. This should take around 5 minutes of blending.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the blended carrot mixture and add in some all-purpose flour. Incorporate baking powder into the mix as well, ensuring everything is well combined.
4
Pour the carrot mixture into your prepared 10-inch round cake pan and smooth out the top.
5
Place the cake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 40 minutes.
6
Once done, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
7
To invert the cake, carefully lift it out of the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
8
Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, milk, and melted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly as the mixture begins to bubble and thicken, taking around 3-4 minutes.
9
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately spread the warm chocolate sauce evenly over the cooled cake.
