• Once your Orange and Carrot Cake is out of the oven, let it cool down for about 10 minutes before demolding on top of a cooling rack. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
• N.B. This cake is best enjoyed the day of. However, you can store it wrapped at room temperature up to 3 days.

Aujourd’hui, je vous présente un gâteau assez surprenant et atypique. Il est bien different des « Carrot Cake » que vous connaissez déjà car celui-ci ne contient ni épices, ni noix. C’est un gâteau au jus et zeste d’orange avec des carottes. Aussi pas d’affolement au niveau du sucre car il y en a pas mal mais le résultat est très équilibré et quitte à choquer plus d’un, presque pas sucré, si si c’est possible! Bref, j’ai adoré ce gâteau et je n’étais pas seule vu à la vitesse qu’il a été dévoré! Bises, ~Nessa

Voici la liste des participants de “Battle ‘Orange c/ Poire’” allez voir les belles choses qu’ils ont réalisé (La liste sera mise à jour au fur et à mesure du 1er au 25 janvier, venez nombreux!):
