Chef Tips

- To improve the texture of the topping, use condensed milk instead of milk. - To give an additional touch of flavor, add 1 cup of grated chocolate shavings. - To save time, pour the glaze over the cake while still warm, making it easier to cover.

Variations

- For a topping with a softer texture, add 1 cup of pineapple puree to the chocolate topping. - For a lighter version, use coconut milk instead of milk in the frosting. - For a cake with a drier topping, reduce the amount of milk in the topping.

Substitutions

- For those special occasions, use cocoa powder instead of chocolate drink powder. - If you prefer, use coconut oil instead of oil. - For a creamier topping, add 1 cup of heavy cream to the chocolate drink powder.

How to Store

The carrot cake keeps well fresh for 3-4 days in a covered container. The chocolate topping should be consumed immediately after preparation.

Can You Freeze It?

Do not freeze. The chocolate frosting can melt and spoil the flavor of the cake.

What to Serve With

We suggest serving with vanilla ice cream or a red berry sauce. If preferred, it can be served with lemon gelatin.
