Ingredients and supplies

  • 700 g carrots
  • 150 g currants
  • 100 gr brown caster sugar
  • 300 gr granulated sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 sachet of vanilla sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 7 g baking powder
  • 2.5 tbsp speculaas spices
  • 230 ml vegetable oil
  • 375 g flour
  • 150 gr mix of nuts (hazelnuts, walnuts and we had some cashews left)

Other requirements: springform pan with a diameter of 27 cm.

Prep-work

Clean the carrots. Peel them and grate them afterwards. Put them in a large bowl because there will be more.

Add the currants and brown sugar and mix gently until everything is well combined.

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees.

In a mixing bowl (for a mixer) place the granulated sugar, the eggs and a sachet of vanilla sugar and use a mixer until it becomes a smooth substance.

While mixing, add the speculaas spices, then the vegetable oil and then the flour.

Mix this well and evenly.

Mix with the carrot/currant/sugar mass and stir well.

Place baking paper on the bottom of the springform pan, place the spring ring on top and cut away the excess baking paper. Grease the inside of the springform pan with butter (not too sparingly and well into the corners).

Pour the mixture into the springform pan and spread evenly with a spatula.

Place in a preheated oven at 175 degrees and set the timer for 70 minutes.

After 70 minutes, prick the cake to see if it is done.

This way the cake is very tasty, as a variation you can also (in that 70 min waiting time) make a tasty topping. Follow the link below and when the carrot cake has cooled or just before serving spread over the entire carrot cake or over the cake slice.
