Hello community of steemit, today I bring you a delicious cake and very easy to make, it is a carrot cake with chocolate, it is a modification of the basic recipe of carrot cake, you can use the same ingredients, but this is the version that I bring to you:

Ingredients

• 2 and a half cups of flour
• 2 cups of sugar
• 1 cup of melted butter or oil
• 4 eggs
• 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
• 2 cups grated carrot
• Orange grating
• 1 cup of orange juice
• Vanilla to taste
• Dark chocolate in bar

The truth is that it is a fairly simple and delicious cake, you can apply baking powder 1 tablespoon, so that it grows a little more, as you can see I do not use it and I'm like a sponge cake.

Preparation

1

The first thing to do is to grate the ingredients that we want to grate, that is, the carrot and the orange zest are worth the redundancy, all this in order to have things at hand and easier preparation. I like it with a lot of orange, so I'll use the 1 glass of orange juice apart from the zest.

We are also going to crush the cinnamon if we have it in the same way as I do, but perfectly use half a spoonful of the cake, it also depends on the taste you want to give it and if you are very fond of the cinnamon flavor.

2

We begin to mix, we will first join the butter or the oil with the sugar, we will mix for a while until it starts to feel more dissolved sugar, the order of things does not depend much; but I will mention them as I did, after mixing the sugar with the butter I start to add the 4 eggs, one by one, once well mixed this add the carrot, orange zest, vanilla and cinnamon all at the same time, I continue mixing with enveloping movement, and finally I add the flour little by little, this to know what is the ideal point of the mixture, as you add the flour the preparation gets denser, so the orange juice is perfect for this moment.

3

Once the preparation is well mixed, the oven is pre-heated and placed in a half-kilo cake pan. It is left in the oven for approximately 30 minutes, but we must review it because not all the ovens are the same.

When you get out of the oven you will get your delicious cake, but what is different is missing, if: Chocolate!

To prepare the chocolate we need: cup or bitter chocolate, a little butter (this gives it shine), vanilla, sugar, water or milk and a little flour (to give it more density).

Mix all the ingredients in a pot while heating, it is important not to burn or boil the chocolate.

5

Now comes the most fun, cover our cake with the delicious chocolate, the truth is this recipe is very simple and can have variations, you can add nuts as the original recipe and taste divine. The chocolate can also vary can be darker, white chocolate or your favorite; everything depends on the tastes; I believe that the kitchen is about innovating and daring to make delicious things.

Surprise your friends and family with this delicious recipe!
