Kolač od mrkve/šargarepe // Classical carrot cake

(scroll down for English)

Nastavljam sa mrkvom kao glavnim sastojkom. Na redu je klasicni kolac od mrkve, ali bez preljeva, slikan u nekom polu snu, poluotvorenih ociju prije odlaska na posao. Jer polovicu nosim na posao (obecala klincima), a drugu polovicu ko zna dal cu zateci kad dodjem kuci. Prije cu naci ostatke nekih mrvica nego komad kolaca. I da, okrenut je naopacke (ne pitajte zasto)...

Sastojci:
2 solje brasna (ja stavila 1 integralnog, 1 ovasnog)
2 zlicice sode bikarbone
3 zlicice cimeta
1 zlicica djumbira u prahu
3 jaja
1 solja maslinovog ulja
1 solja smedjeg secera
3 solje mrkve (oprane, oguljene i naribane)---ja sam imala ostatak nakon sto sam iscjedila sok tako da moja mrkve nije imala puno soka
1/2 solje sjeckanih orasa
1/2 solje suhih grozdjica

Priprema:
1. Zagrijati rernu na 325 F (180 C).
2. U posudi prosijati brasno, sodu, cimet i djumbir.
3. U drugoj posudi mikserom zamutiti jaja, ulje i secer.
4. Dodati suhe sastojke u mokre i miksati minut-dva.
5. Dodati naribanu mrkvu, orase i grozdjice.
6. Smjesu preliti u kalup, prekriti folijom i peci jedno 45 minuta. Nakon jedno 25 minuta skinuti foliju. Probati cackalicom, ako izadje cista onda je gotovo. Pustiti da se ohladi.
