Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups peeled sliced carrots ((about 3 large carrots))
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (, spooned and leveled)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a rimmed 15x10 pan with non-stick spray, making sure to get in the corners and sides.
  • Place the raw sliced carrots, eggs, and oil in a food processor (or blender) and puree until smooth, about 1 minute. Add sugar and pulse to combine. Add dry ingredients and gently stir with rubber spatula and then blend until fully incorporated.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a skewer comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely before applying the glaze.
  • Make the glaze: Set up a double boiler by simply placing a glass bowl on top of a saucepan that has an inch or so of simmering water. Add the chocolate, butter, and honey to the bowl and stir occasionally with a rubber spatula, until the glaze is melted, smooth, and glossy. (Alternately, you can do this in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between until smooth, but we find this has mixed results and sometimes the chocolate can scorch.)
  • Pour over the cooled cake and allow to set.
  • Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy!
