   How to make carrot cake sponge cake? Prepare the products. Weigh the carrots after cleaning, it took me three small carrots. Take refined, odorless oil.

   Take a large bowl and sift flour into it. This will not only rid it of possible debris, but also saturate it with oxygen, which will make your sponge cake more magnificent. Add ground cinnamon, nutmeg and soda to the flour. Mix the dry ingredients well with a whisk.

3. Step 3:

   

   In another bowl, in which the dough will be kneaded, add sugar. It will be delicious to take white and brown sugar in half — it will give the biscuit a caramel taste. Pour vegetable oil into the sugar. With a mixer, beat them well until smooth. Without ceasing to beat, add the eggs to the mixture one at a time. It will be more convenient to break them into a separate bowl before that. Knead the mass well every time.

   Prepare the baking pans. According to this recipe, I advise you to bake not one big biscuit, but several small ones that will immediately be cakes. A high biscuit may not be baked. Ideally, take three shapes with a diameter of 16cm. I had only two, I made them 18cm (sliding forms). I made the bottom out of foil. There is no need to lubricate the molds, there is a lot of oil in the dough. Place the molds on a baking sheet, pour the same amount of dough into them.

   Put the baking tray with the molds in the oven, preheated to 160 ° C, top-bottom mode. Bake the biscuit for 35-65 minutes, the exact time will depend on the characteristics of your oven and the size of the cakes. Check readiness with a wooden skewer — it should come out dry from the middle of the biscuit. Remove the finished biscuit from the oven, hold for 5 minutes, then remove the foil and mold. Immediately wrap it in a bag or film and put it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
