Description
Carrot Pudding with a Brown Sugar Sauce is a delightful dessert that combines the sweetness of carrots with a rich sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups grated fresh carrots
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 cup brown sugar (for sauce)
- ½ cup heavy cream (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for sauce)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well and set aside.
- In another bowl, mix the grated carrots with the granulated sugar, allowing it to sit for about 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the carrot mixture, stirring gently to combine.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- If using, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool in the dish for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and bubbling. Remove from heat.
Notes
- Serve warm with the brown sugar sauce drizzled on top.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
