Brazilian carrot cake aka Bolo de Cenoura, calls for easy breezy preparation. This cake is one of the most popular and traditional Brazilian dessert. You might have already tried varieties of carrot cake but trust me this Brazilian carrot cake is completely different from those usual carrot cakes. Its quite a unique dessert with an incredible topping and looks almost like cornbread. The addition of chocolate sauce gives a fabulous touch to this flavourful carrot cake. You may wonder why am talking about this beautiful cake. Kalyani of Sizzling Tastebuds gave me carrots and cheese as my two secret ingredients for this month's Shhh Cooking Secretly, started by myself and now the event is taken by Mayuri Patel.
We are supposed to cook from International cuisine as we are cooking since few months under a theme every month for this event. Mayuri gave us Brazilian cuisine and i baked this alluring carrot cake from this cuisine with my two secret ingredients. I used cream cheese for making the chocolate sauce as per one of my secret ingredient given by Kalyani though cream cheese is not used in the traditional carrot cake. Thanks to Kalyani for giving me carrots, else i would have never tried my hands in baking this incredible carrot cake.If you are looking for an easy cake, then give a try to this fantastic cake.
