Equipment
- Blender
- Ring cake baking pan
- Pan
Ingredients
- 5 carrots
- 11 fl oz vegetable oil
- 5 eggs
- 12 oz flour
- 10 oz sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 oz butter
- 1 oz cocoa powder
- 13 fl oz sweetened condensed milk
- 5 fl oz milk
- 3 oz cocoa powder
- 3 oz butter
- 14 oz sugar
- chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
- Peel the carrots and purée them together with the vegetable oil and the eggs in a blender.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the flour, sugar, and baking powder until you have a smooth batter. Then pour the batter into a ring cake baking pan.
- Melt the ingredients for the pralines in a pan while stirring constantly. As soon as the praline mixture is nice and even, chill it in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Form the praline mixture into balls, coat them in some flour, and let them sink into the batter. Once that's done, slide the ring cake pan into the oven. Bake it for 1 hour at 350°F. Next, turn the cake out onto a plate and let it cool down.
- Melt the milk, cocoa powder, butter, and sugar together in a pan. The chocolate doesn't just form a thin coating over the cake, but is poured into the middle of the ring until it overflows down the outside. To finish, decorate your masterpiece with chocolate sprinkles.
