Carrot cake with walnuts
Description
This recipe won't take much time. If you think carrot cake is more of a side vegetable dish or suitable only for morning coffee, you're wrong! In fact, it's a delicious dessert in which carrots aren't the main ingredient but simply enhance the overall flavor of this culinary masterpiece. 1. Sift the flour, then mix it with baking powder and spices. 2. Using a mixer, beat the cottage cheese with butter and sugar in a bowl. Gradually, without stopping the mixing process, add the eggs one at a time. After adding the eggs, continue mixing and add the flour without turning off the mixer. 3. To the ready batter, add chopped walnuts and finely grated carrots (optionally, reserve a little for decorating the cake). 4. Transfer the batter into a baking pan greased with vegetable oil, and bake in the oven for 1–1.5 hours. Check for doneness with a wooden skewer. 5. While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. Beat powdered sugar with butter and cream cheese. You can use a blender or a whisk. 6. Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool, then decorate with frosting and nuts. If desired, you can cut the baked cake into two layers and spread frosting between them. The baked treat is ready. Serve it at the table.
