Carrot Cake with White Chocolate Frosting

Eating carrot cake makes me feel less guilty. I don't worry about the calories piling up.  My mind is like there is carrot in it which means its healthy and good for you.

Well that's what I kept telling myself when I gorged this piece of cake. :)

Also this is a one bowl cake which makes things all the more easier.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 large eggs at room temperature
• 1/2 cup oil (I used canola oil)
• 1/2 cup lemon glaze ( Mix 2 to 3 tsp of  lemon juice thoroughly in 1/2 cup powdered sugar)
• 1 cup grated carrots

For the White Chocolate Frosting

• 200gm white chocolate
• 250 ml cream

Preparation

For the Cake

• Preheat oven to 180 degree centigrade for 10 mins.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, white & brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
• Add eggs, lemon glaze and oil to the flour mixture.
• Stir with a spoon tell all the ingredients blend well
• Stir in carrots to the mixture
• Pour the batter in a 8 inch baking dish and bake for 25 to 30 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with crumbs.

For the Frosting

• Cut the white chocolate into small chunks and place them in a heat resistant bowl.
• Heat the cream in a pan till it boils.
• Pour the hot cream onto the white chocolate and stir it till the chocolate melts.

Once the cake cools down, spread the frosting thickly on top of it. 

Warning: This is a dense & yummy cake and will disappear in minutes. :)
