Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp grated orange rind
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1-1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup grated carrots
- Glaze:
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 3 tbsp orange juice
- White chocolate, curls
Preparation
Grease 10-cup (2.5 L) classic or fancy Bundt or tube pan; dust with flour. Set aside.
In large bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy; beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each. Beat in orange rind and vanilla.
In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir into butter mixture alternately with sour cream, making 3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 of sour cream. Fold in carrots. Scrape into prepared pan; tap pan on counter and smooth top.
Bake in centre of 325°F (160°C) oven until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan to rack; let cool completely. (Make-ahead: Wrap in plastic wrap; store in airtight container for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 1 month.)
Glaze: In small bowl, mix icing sugar with orange juice until smooth; brush over cake. Garnish with chocolate curls and Candied Orange Rind.
Additional information :
Tip: To make white chocolate curls, spread melted chocolate thinly with palette knife onto clean baking sheet; refrigerate until pliable but not sticky, about 15 minutes. Brace pan against body. Holding palette knife with 2 hands and at 45-degree angle away from you, pull through chocolate to scrape into curls, refrigerating pan if chocolate begins to soften. Refrigerate curls until chilled.
