Det ga en ekstra piff. Dessverre hadde jeg ikke det denne gangen og brukte revet sitronskall istedenfor.
Gulrotkake
225g margarin
6 dl fintrevne gulrøtter (ca 4 stk)
1 ss revet sitronskall
4 store egg
4 dl sukker
4 dl hvetemel
4 ts bakepulver
4 ts vaniljesukker
Glasur
125 g Philadelphiaost eller kremost naturell, romtemperatur
50 g mykt smør eller margarin
2 1/2 dl melis
Pynt
Revne gulrøtter eller sitronmelisse blader (om du feks har det i kjøkkenhagen)
Ovn 175 grader
Smelt margarin, avkjøl noe
Skrell gulrøttene og riv dem fint.
Visp egg og sukker til eggedosis.
Bland mel, bakepulver og vaniljesukker sammen. Rør dette inn forsiktig i eggedosisen.
Ha så i smeltet smør og de revne gulrøttene.
Hell røren i en smurt (eller legg bakepapir i bunnen) liten langpanne, ca 20x30cm.
Stek kaken i ca 20-25 min, til gjennomstekt.
La den hvile i langpannen noen minutter, hvelv den ut på en rist for videre avkjøling.
Lag glasuren ved å vispe sammen ost og smør til en luftig smidig masse. Ha i melis og rør godt sammen.
Pynt kaken med glasuren og pynt med revne gulrøtter. Sett den i kjøleskapet i 1-2 timer.
