How to Prepare Yummy Brazilian Carrot Cake

Brazilian Carrot Cake. A traditional favorite in my family, Brazilian carrot cake is very different from the American version. The popular cake is topped with homemade chocolate frosting, and perfect to serve with a glass of milk or tea. Now Brazilian carrot cake is a different story.

If it's very hot where you are, you can refrigerate it, but I find that - no matter what I do - a refrigerated cake always ends up drying out a little. Bolo de cenoura, Brazilian carrot cake, is a super classic, traditional Brazilian cake recipe. Unlike American style carrot cakes, traditional bolo de cenoura doesn't have any spices, and is frosted with either a simple buttery chocolate sauce or delicious brigadeiro and sprinkles, instead of cream cheese frosting.

Carrots give the cake its bright yellow hue, but they're barely detectable in the flavor, which is like a rich butter cake. The chocolate icing is a pourable version of the popular Brazilian candies called brigadeiros. This cake is often served as a round or rectangular single layer cake, but the recipe is also nice for cupcakes. This Brazilian carrot cake with chocolate icing was pretty easy to prepare, never took much of my time to bake, looks captivating, tastes delectable and is equally a perfect treat to unwrap and enjoy either as a breakfast, lunch or dessert.
