I always say that the best thing television gave me was the carrot cake. If you did not read me the time I wrote it, I will tell it again very briefly, because the public is renewed, they say: “ My guilty pleasure was to watch those TV shows where brides planned their weddings, they are terrific! Well, one of the brides chose a carrot pudding, and it seemed crazy to me that there is a sweet taste with carrots, I looked up the recipe and fell madly in love! “

About this carrot pudding
This carrot pudding is one of the richest I’ve had so far , it has the perfect moisture and flavor combination! There are several variations that can be made to this recipe:
- It can be made wholemeal: change the refined flour for fine wholemeal flour and instead of brown sugar put muscovado sugar. The same amount that it says there but using these other products.
- You can change the raisins for chocolate chips, but if you are going to put chocolate chips, do not add the spices. Otherwise it will be left with a rare taste.
- The spices: they are wonderful, and in this preparation they are ideal. Dare to go testing!
- KitchensCityTip: If you want, you can marinate the raisins in cognac for a while. It will give it a special touch that not just anyone does.
- Glaze: you can put the traditional glaze that is with powdered sugar or icing sugar and a splash of orange juice, or how I made in this case, a quick French meringue. Below I give you the recipe, do not despair!
