How to Make Bolo De Cenoura Brazilian Carrot Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (375°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a blender, combine 3 large eggs, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 2 cups grated carrots. Blend until completely smooth and pureed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is baking, prepare the chocolate glaze (see glaze instructions below).
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a wire rack.
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, pour the chocolate glaze evenly over the top.
  9. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Bolo de Cenoura!
  10. **Chocolate Glaze:**
  11. In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup heavy cream, 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
  12. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  13. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before pouring over the cake.
