A cake that people can’t put down – carrot cake
Overview
I like small cakes, but I always feel that the small cakes made from paper cups smell like ink, so I searched for a dozen 2-inch small cake molds online. You can feel free to be creative when making your own small cakes at home, adding your favorite vegetables, fruits, nuts, etc. Today I made a small carrot cake. I used corn oil instead of butter. The cake was still very fragrant and there was no carrot flavor at all. Carotene, also known as ginseng, is rich in nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, volatile oils, carotene, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, anthocyanins, calcium, and iron. After the carotene in carrots is taken into the human digestive organs, it will be converted into vitamin A, which can treat night blindness and dry eyes caused by vitamin A deficiency. Moreover, Chinese medicine believes that carrots have the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, nourishing the liver and improving eyesight, clearing away heat and detoxifying, lowering qi and relieving coughs. Everyone knows that making cakes requires beating eggs, but the thing I hate the most is beating eggs. So today I used a lazy method to mix the batter with a wall breaker. Since this carrot cake is a heavy oil cake, I put some baking powder in it to get a soft cake texture. Some people are worried that the aluminum and alum in baking powder are harmful to the body. Nowadays, aluminum-free and potassium-free alum baking powder is sold in supermarkets. You can buy such baking powder and use it. The food processor I used to mix the batter today is a broken-wall food processor. I chose the fruit and vegetable function to mix the batter. Although the mixed batter contains a lot of grease, the food processor is very easy to clean. Put warm water into the food processor, add two drops of detergent, start the machine for a few seconds, and then rinse it with clean water. It is much easier than washing the egg bowl and egg beater.
