Preparing carrot cake in the microwave
- Chop the peeled carrots and sugar, then blend them until smooth. Add two eggs and the olive oil, and mix until the batter is even and creamy.
- Pour the batter into a butter-greased microwave-safe mold. Stir in the flour, sugar, and walnuts until the mixture is well combined and has a loose, pourable consistency.
- Cover the mold and microwave on high power for about seven minutes. After that, uncover the cake and let it rest for a few minutes. Allow it to cool in the mold for roughly five minutes before turning it out.
- To finish, drizzle the sugar glaze over the cooled cake. The walnuts add a pleasant crunch and aroma, but they can be omitted if preferred. The result is a soft, fluffy carrot cake with minimal effort.
