For a sponge you need:
- 2 1/2 cup of flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp ginger
- 2 cup of sugar ( I used brown sugar)
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cup of oil (I used canola oil)
- 2 cup of carrot (I blend my carot, you can grated it, if you want)
- grated orange peel - depends of taste how much you will put in.
For cream you need:
- 450gr of cream cheese
- 6 tbsp of butter
- 1 tsp of vanila extract
- 1 cup of icing sugar
- 4 tbsp of sour cream
All dry ingredients mix together, in the another bowl mix eggs + sugar +oil with mixer. Put in carrot and stir with spoon, after that put in dry ingredients and stir well. Prepare two baking pans for baking and share mixture evenly in two parts. Bake on 360F for 30-35 minutes.
After your sponges are cooled, you can make cream by mixing all ingredients together. Put the cream between sponges, and all around the cake. If you want, you can leave a little bit of cream to decorate cake, like me. Because I dont love artificial colors, I put cinnamon in the decorating cream to make a color and a taste. Enjoy ;)
I have to mention my lovely carrot muffins that are delicious, and they are a variation of this lovely cake!
Love it!
