You’ve asked me many many times and now I am proud to present to you the chocolate dream. But now you have to deal with it, meaning the consequences of the “omg, actually I’ve already had enough, but it tastes so good” thoughts.
Of course this cake has some hidden veggies á la Annelina inside. Smuggeling a few carrots into this recipe, will make it super soft and moist – and we are filling up our resources of beta carotinoids as well. These substances are transformed into vitamin A in our body. In addition to nutritional values, they also support a beautiful brown skin color – of course, this amount is not enough.
But I have to say that the carrots also make the cake a bit more compact and less fluffy. I love that, but not everyone likes it. If you belong to team fluffy-fluff type, this cake might not be perfect for you. You could try adding oil if you like or transform it into a brownie recipe by filling it in a square shaped baking tin and filling it up to brownie height.
