A moist, vibrant Brazilian Carrot Cake made by blending fresh carrots into the batter for a smooth texture and topped with a luscious, glossy chocolate frosting — a beloved Brazilian classic that’s both simple and irresistible.

Ingredients

2 cups grated carrots (about 4 medium carrots)

1 cup sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

4 large eggs

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Frosting:

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 can sweetened condensed milk

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate sprinkles (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round or rectangular cake pan.
  2. In a blender, combine grated carrots, sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour the carrot mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. For the frosting, heat sweetened condensed milk, butter, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until slightly thickened.
  7. Whisk in cocoa powder until smooth and glossy. Spread evenly over the cooled cake.
  8. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles for a traditional Brazilian touch. Slice and serve.

Notes

Add 1 tablespoon of yogurt or sour cream for an extra moist cake.

Reduce sugar to 3/4 cup for a less sweet version.

Add orange zest to the batter for a citrusy twist.

Double the frosting for a thicker, richer layer.

Top with shredded coconut instead of sprinkles for a tropical variation.

Store covered at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Freeze slices individually for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before serving.
