Preparation

1. Clean the carrot, peel it, and grate it on a fine grater. If you have a blender, try additionally chopping the grated carrot with it.

2. Chop the walnut with a knife or a blender. Add honey, oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla sugar, and nuts to the carrot. Instead of vanilla sugar, you can use vanilla essence. Mix the mixture until smooth.

3. Sift the dry mixture into the carrot mixture. Never refuse a sieve, as the sponge with additives comes out dense. The sifted flour is saturated with oxygen molecules, so the baked goods turn out airy. Use a whisk to break up the air bubbles. The carrot dough should be quite thick, but don’t be scared of that. It will definitely rise during baking.

4. If you are using a heat-resistant glass mold, line the mold with baking paper. This condition is not necessary for a silicone mold. Spread the dough in the mold and send it to a preheated oven at 180 degrees. Set a timer for 40-45 minutes.
