Nina's Brazilian Carrot Cake

Nina's Brazilian Carrot Cake
  • Cake:
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 2/3 cups peeled and chopped carrots
  • Frosting:
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 (3.5 ounce) bar bittersweet chocolate, broken into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon butter


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  2. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Blend oil, sugar, eggs, and carrots in a blender, stopping to scrape down sides, until creamy and smooth, about 1 minute. Pour puree into a large bowl, then whisk in flour mixture until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  4. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer pan to a rack to cool, about 1 hour.
  5. Stir together milk, chocolate, honey, and butter in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth, thick, and reduced to about 1 1/8 cups, about 10 minutes.
  6. Pour frosting into a metal bowl and set in a larger bowl of ice water. Stir frosting until cooled and thickened, about 5 minutes. Frost cake evenly and cut into 12 pieces to serve.
