Ingredients for Tropical Carrot Cake (Serves 4)

Tropical Carrot Cake

 

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk

  • 2 eggs

  • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups coarsely grated carrots

  • 1 can pineapple slices, drained and chopped

  • ½ cup walnuts

  • 50 g dried coconut

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

For the Frosting:

  • 200 g cream cheese

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  • 4 g lemon zest

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method of Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

  2. In another bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, and vegetable oil until smooth. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix well.

  3. Stir in the pineapple pieces, coconut, walnuts, and grated carrots until evenly distributed.

  4. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Pour the batter into a ring-shaped (Bundt) cake pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  5. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting: beat the cream cheese and butter together in a mixer until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest, mixing at medium speed for about 5 minutes.

  6. Once the cake has cooled, pour the frosting over the top, letting it drizzle naturally over the edges.

  7. Slice and serve to your guests, who will enjoy the perfect blend of carrot, pineapple, coconut, and cream cheese in every bite.
