CREAM CHEESE FROSTING – THERMOMIX METHOD

• Insert butterfly whisk. Place cream cheese, butter and sugar into mixing bowl and mix 10 sec/speed 4. Remove butterfly whisk.
• Pipe your Frosting on your Carrot Cake, and decorate as you wish (I use a round and a star tip to create the effect). Keep cake refrigerated until ready to serve. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!

TRADITIONAL OVEN RECIPE

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
• Cut your carrots into 1"/3cm. Place them directly in your Eco Chop and give them a few pulls to chop it to your liking. Transfer them to a smaller bowl. Set aside.
• In your mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs with the sugar, brown sugar, apple sauce and vanilla extract until combined. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg. Fold the chopped carrots, hazelnuts, pistachios and sultanas.
• Place your Loaf Flexipan® Mold on the top of your Medium Perforated Baking Sheet.
• Pour your Batter into your Flexipan®.
• Once your oven has reached the preheating temperature, place a metal tray with water on the lowest oven rack. Return the oven temperature back to 350F/180C.
• Bake for 70 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your carrot cake from 60min). It is ready when the toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Once your Carrot Cake is out of the oven, let it cool down for about 10 minutes, then unmold it onto your cooling rack. 

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING – TRADITIONAL METHOD

• In a mixing bowl, beat the Cream Cheese first. Then, add the softened butter, Confectioners' sugar and vanilla paste. Whisk until you find the desired consistency.
• Pipe your Frosting on your Carrot Cake, and decorate as you wish (I use a round and a star tip to create the effect). Keep cake refrigerated until ready to serve. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
