While our Tia Ida was visiting from Venezuela, she made this delicious torta (cake). We loved it so much that we insisted the she make it again and again. Enjoy!
Ingredients
4 cups of grated carrots (she will use sometimes up to 5 cups)
1/2 cup of oil (give or take)
5 eggs (she would use 3 whole eggs and 2 whites)
3 cups of flour
2 cups of sugar
2 1/2 T baking powder
cinnamon and vanilla to taste
nuts (almonds) optional
Directions
Grease and flour the baking pans.
In a blender, add the grated carrots, oil, eggs and vanilla. Blend until carrots are pasty.
In a mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon.
Stir the flour and carrots mixtures together.
Bake at 350' for 1 hour.
Buen provecho!
