Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delightful cake:

  • 2 cups carrots, grated
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Chocolate Icing

To make the frosting, gather these ingredients:

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

Now, let’s get to the fun part—making the cake!

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a blender, combine the grated carrots, vegetable oil, and eggs. Blend until smooth.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the blended carrot mixture to the dry ingredients, and mix until everything is well incorporated.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is baking, make the chocolate icing. In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter.
  7. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 10 minutes.
  8. Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Pour the chocolate icing over the cooled cake, spreading it evenly.
  10. Let the icing set for a few minutes before slicing and serving the cake.
