Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Grease and flour a bundt pan or a 22 cm (9-inch) round cake pan.
- 2
In a blender, combine the grated carrots, sugar, eggs and melted butter. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 3
Pour the mixture into a large bowl, sift in the flour and baking powder, then fold gently with a spatula until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
- 4
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before turning out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra moisture, swap half the butter for a neutral vegetable oil. Once cooled, a light cream cheese glaze with lemon zest takes this everyday cake to the next level.
