If a recipe calls for an exact amount of grams of carrots, respect that determination! One of the main reasons for the cake to become sticky is the excess of carrots. Therefore, weigh the pieces of the vegetable and make sure that you are incorporating the necessary amount for the dough. At our recipe, for example, 270 grams of carrots are needed!
Grind the carrots well
Pieces of carrot are not always welcome in the dough, so mash the ingredient well. To facilitate the work of the blender or processor, add eggs, oil and sugar at this stage. Beat everything until it forms a very homogeneous mixture. Ensuring perfection in this preparation, the chances of your solar cake are greatly reduced.
Don’t forget to preheat the oven!
Another very common mistake that few people are aware of! Oven temperature is essential to ensure uniform baking of your cake. For this reason, it is essential that the oven is preheated, keeping it warm to receive the raw dough. In this way, the yeast will have the ideal conditions to fulfill its role.
Oh, and nothing about opening the oven door all the time, okay? This causes the hot air to escape, helping the middle of your cake to sink.
Sift the dry ingredients
If you want a smooth pasta and without inconvenient “lumps”, just sift the dry ingredients. They usually have slightly larger grains and are difficult to dissolve when mixing all the ingredients. If this preparation time is skipped, it is possible that your dough will become heavier than it should.
Incorporate the ingredients gently
Fluffy pasta requires delicacy. With this in mind, mix the flour and yeast with care and attention. We know that most recipes ask for all ingredients to be taken to the blender – including ours. Although this type of preparation is not wrong, incorporate the flour and yeast with the help of a spatula or
fouet it is a better alternative.
