Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs 5.3 oz
  • 150 ml vegetable oil 5 fl oz
  • 200 g peeled and chopped carrots 7 oz
  • 275 g sugar 9.7 oz
  • 205 g all-purpose flour 7.2 oz
  • 1 tbsp baking powder 0.5 oz
  • 25 g unsweetened cocoa powder sifted (1/4 cup / 0.88 oz)
  • butter and flour to grease and dust the pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the baking pan with butter and dust it with flour.
  2. Combine the eggs, oil, chopped carrots, and sugar in a blender and process until smooth.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the flour and baking powder until just combined.
  4. Divide the batter into two equal portions. Sift the cocoa powder into one portion and mix until incorporated.
  5. Pour half of the carrot batter into the pan and top with half of the chocolate batter.
  6. Gently swirl the batters together in circular motions using a toothpick.
  7. Repeat the layering process with the remaining batters and swirl again.
  8. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool, then dust with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve.

Frosting Recommendation: For an extra indulgent version, try the frosting from my Bakery-Worthy Chocolate Cake—it’s creamy, rich, and pairs beautifully with the chocolate and carrot flavors.
