See how to make a perfect carrot cake with just these 3 tips

Carrot cake with chocolate water is among the most beloved snacks in Brazil and is apparently simple to prepare. However, when trying to prepare this sweet at home, most people are disappointed with the result, even if they follow the proportions of ingredients described in the prescription exactly.

Some incorrect procedures can make a big difference in the taste and texture of the preparation. Here are some tips to ensure you never lose your prescription again.

Carrot portion and texture

One of the main mistakes made when preparing carrot cake is adding the wrong portion of the element. Most recipes are not clear and satisfactory in relation to the portion, measuring the carrot portion per element or cups, which tend to vary a lot in mass. The right thing to do is add 270 grams of chopped carrots for every 240 grams of flour.

Not crushing the carrot correctly is another surprisingly common mistake during preparation. Add the carrot with the oil, sugar and eggs and blend in a blender until the texture of the combination is smooth and homogeneous. If you see that there are also pieces of carrot, beat again. This will prevent the cake from becoming 'dull', that is, fatiguing and dull.

Do not heat the furnace too much

The combination needs to be placed in an already hot oven, which will allow the origin to act correctly and the dough to cook constantly. Before starting to prepare the recipe, place the oven to heat to 180 degrees.

Check the precise baking time and only check the cake after the time ends. Opening the oven several times throughout the cooking process will cause the cake to lose its center.

Wrong incorporation of ingredients

A homogeneous combination makes all the difference in the texture and taste of the cake. Sift the wheat flour to avoid the formation of lumps, which will make the dough heavy. Whipping the wheat flour in the blender is another common problem, blend only the wet ingredients and sugar in the blender and then pour the combination into a bowl, add the flour and origin manually.

At this point you need to have a lot of grace in your hands: add little by little and mix carefully with the help of a spatula or fuet. This will prevent the dough from losing air, ensuring a fluffy and delicious cake.
