Cake Batter Ingredients- 3 large eggs
- 20 almonds (about a handful)
- 1 medium carrot (approx. 200g), finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp citron preserves (yuzu marmalade)
Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting- 6 Tbsp cream cheese
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 6 Tbsp cream cheese
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp honey
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the carrot: wash it thoroughly, peel it, and then finely chop it using a knife or a food processor. Removing the core before chopping will yield a smoother texture.
Step 2
In a blender or food processor, combine the 3 eggs, a handful of almonds (about 20), the finely chopped carrot, 1 tablespoon of butter, and 1 tablespoon of citron preserves. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring no large chunks remain.
Step 3
Pour the blended batter into a microwave-safe dish, filling it no more than 80% full to allow room for rising. Microwave on high for approximately 8 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Step 4
While the cake is cooking, prepare the lemon cream cheese frosting. In a bowl, combine 6 tablespoons of cream cheese, 3 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Whisk until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps.
Step 5
Once the microwave cycle is complete, carefully remove the carrot cake. Let it cool slightly to release steam. While still warm, generously spread the prepared lemon cream cheese frosting over the top of the cake. Enjoy your delicious homemade carrot cake immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for a firmer texture.
