Chocolate Carrot Cake with Chocolate Ganache

 

Recipe By : Cafe Brenda, Minneapolis, MN

Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

Cake:

2 1/2 oz unsweetened chocolate

1 1/3 cups unbleached white flour

2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

3 eggs -- or equiv. replacer

1 1/4 cups honey

2/3 cup vegetable oil

2 tsp vanilla extract

zest of 1 lemon -- finely grated

3/4 cup buttermilk

1 1/2 cups carrots -- grated

Ganache:

6 oz unsweetened chocolate

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup honey

1 tsp creme de cacao

 

For cake: Bring all ingredients to room temperature. (Chocolate tends to

harden when it is mixed with cold milk or eggs). Preheat oven to 350°F.

 

Melt chocolate in a double boiler, then set aside to cool. In a bowl,

combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In

a separate bowl, beat eggs or prepare egg replacer with extra liquid

(see note). Add honey and beat until light. Add oil and beat well. Stir

in vanilla and lemon zest. Add melted chocolate and mix well. Stir in

buttermilk. Stir in dry ingredients, just until combined. Stir in grated

carrots.

 

Pour batter into 2 9 " round buttered and floured cake pans. Bake for

35-40 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out

clean. Let cool before removing from pans. Be sure cakes cool completely

before frosting.

 

Ganache: Melt chocolate in double boiler. Remove from heat and let cool

to room temperature.

 

Warm cream in saucepan over low heat until just warm, do not let it

boil.

 

Stir honey, creme de cacao, and warmed cream into chocolate. Stir gently

with a spoon until well-combined. Whisk for about 30 seconds until

mixture lightens in color and looks silky. Do not overbeat. Ganache will

thicken as it cools. At this point you can refrigerate it, but bring it

to room temperature before filling and frosting cake.

 

To assemble: Spread ganache over one of the 9 inch cakes and place

second cake on top. Then pour remaining ganache on top, letting some of

the ganache flow over the edges. It will have a silky sheen after it

sits for a few minutes. Serves 12.

 

Note: If using powdered egg replacer, add a few extra tbsp of buttermilk

to cake batter for moistness.

 

Nutritional information: Per serving, 494 calories, 7g protein, 26g fat,

18g carbo, 55mg chol, 235mg sodium, 4g fiber. OVO-LACTO.
