Carrot cake

Ingredients:
- 3 carrots, peeled
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 cups of plain flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder



Preparing the cake:
Pre-heat the oven to 180º C.
Grate the carrots thinly, in the small side of the grater.
Add the eggs and whisk well with a whisker or a spoon.
Add the oil, sugar and flour, whisking well after each addition.
Mix the baking powder with one extra tbsp of flour, and then add to the mixture, whisking well.
Pour the mixture in an oil-greased baking tray and bake it for around 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the cake rest for 5 minutes inside it. Set aside to cool down.



Chocolate sauce:
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 tbsps chocolate powder
- 2 tbsps butter
- 1/2 cup of milk

Preparing the sauce:
Add all ingredients to a sauce pan and take it to the boil, whisking constantly with a wooden spoon (around 15 t0 20 minutes). It is going to reduce and become sticky. It is ready when you lift the spoon and it pours as a caramel string, not as water. It also does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Pour over the cake and enjoy.
