Carrot dough

Ingredients:

50 g whole egg

150 g granulated sugar

100 g sunflower oil

8 g baking powder

Here's how:

The batter is enough for 12 cupcakes

  • First preheat the oven to 160°C convection so that it is at the right temperature when you bake the dough.

  • First beat the eggs with the granulated sugar in a bowl until frothy.

  • Add the sunflower oil and crème fraîche to the beaten mixture and mix thoroughly.

  • Then add the grated carrot pieces and ginger to the mixture and gently fold in.

  • Next, mix the flour with the baking powder in a separate bowl, then add it to the mixture and mix until it is homogeneous.

  • Finally, divide the batter evenly into the muffin tins (you will need about 85 g per cupcake) and place the cupcakes in a heated oven at 160°C for about 25 minutes. After that you can let them cool down and decorate them if you like.

  • These cupcakes will keep for about 5 days. If you freeze them, they will keep for up to 5 months.
