Hi everyone! So a customer of mine was asking me for baking tips the other day, and she showed me this recipe asking if I'd ever seen anything like it before:
2 shredded carrots
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
3 eggs
Pinch of salt
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup pineapple chunks
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp yeast
Mix the sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla together. Add the flour, salt and yeast. Stir in the nuts, pineapple, carrots and cinnamon. Pour into a pan and bake.
(I'm translating from a foreign language so the process may be a little off, but the ingredients are correct)
Has anyone seen a recipe like this before? They haven't mentioned anything about a rising time for the dough. The proportions also seem a little off to me. Does this seem more like a bread recipe than cake? I would love any insight. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the info mimi! How did you find the texture of the yeast ed cakes? Similar to using baking powder/ baking soda?
Hmm yeah I was thinking would be kinda bread-y, and that isn't something I want in my cakes either. Thanks so much for the input! Appreciate it!
