Authentic Brazilian Carrot Cake with Chocolate Glaze

A rich, moist cake topped with creamy brigadeiro. A true Brazilian classic!

Ingredients for the cake:

• Carrots – 300g, peeled and weighed.
• Sugar – granulated or caster sugar works well.
• Vegetable oil – neutral oils like sunflower or canola are ideal.
• Eggs – large, room temperature.
• Vanilla extract – for enhanced flavor.
• All-purpose flour – also called plain flour.
• Baking powder – for that perfect rise.
• Salt – just a pinch to balance sweetness.
