Now, let's take a closer look at how to make delicious carrot cake and carrot cupcakes.

Easy-to-make carrot cake: What are the tips for making carrot cake?

First, let's look at the basic method of making carrot cake using a rice cooker. For one cake, prepare 1 carrot (200g), 3 eggs, 1+1/2 cups of cake flour, 1 cup of white sugar, 1/2 cup of grapeseed oil, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. For the whipped cream, prepare 1/4 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of white sugar, 300g of cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of orange jam (optional), and a little rosemary (optional).

To make the carrot cake, first, coarsely chop the walnuts, and grate the carrot or shred it finely with a knife. Put the eggs in a bowl and whisk them for 30 seconds. Add sugar little by little while mixing, then add the grapeseed oil and mix. Sift the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon powder into the bowl, mix, then add the carrot and walnuts and mix them into the batter.

Evenly coat the bottom of the rice cooker with a little grapeseed oil and pour in the batter. Tap the cooker gently against the work surface, then select the multi-purpose steaming function (50 minutes). Cook until a wooden skewer inserted into the cake comes out without batter on it. Put the heavy cream in a bowl and whip it with a hand mixer while adding the sugar. In another bowl, soften the cream cheese with a hand mixer, then combine it with the whipped heavy cream to make the topping. (Putting the whipped cream in a plastic bag and piping it in circles helps dispense an even amount.) Finish with various jams and herbs to complete the carrot cake.

A more unique carrot cake: Making carrot cake using corn and carrots

Let's also make a carrot cake made with corn and carrots. First, prepare 1 cup of corn kernels, 1/2 carrot, 1/3 zucchini, 1/3 cup of olive oil, 1 egg, 1 cup of sugar, 0.1 spoon of salt, 2 cups of flour (soft flour), 0.3 spoon of baking powder, 0.1 spoon of baking soda, 0.2 spoon of cinnamon powder, and 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts (optional).

Remove the corn kernels, boil them for 20 minutes, and then mash them with a hand mixer or a knife. Shred the carrot and zucchini. Mix the egg, sugar, and salt into the olive oil, then mix with step 1 to make the batter. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon powder and mix.

Add the powders from step 3 and the chopped walnuts to the batter from step 2, and mix well using a cutting motion with a knife. Line a cake mold with parchment paper and pour in the batter. Place the cake mold in an oven preheated to 160 degrees Celsius and bake for about 40 minutes. This will complete the delicious corn carrot cake.
