Bolo de Cenoura~ Carrot Cake Brazilian Style

For recipe in German please click HERE:

This cake is one of the most common cakes in Brazil, and differs from the European and American versions I have tried so far. It tastes like a rich butter cake, and the carrots give it an intense and beautiful colour. A brazilian Carrot Cake usually as a rectanglar or round layer cake, you may add chocolate chips or cover it with chocolate glaze. So simple and so delicious! This time I have decided to sprinkle it with icing sugar instead of chocolate icing, and it tasted incredibly moist and delicious- a perfect treat to enjoy with a cup of tea, milk or coffee, both for kids and adults!

Danas vam predstavljam Bolo de cenoura  kolač, kolač koji je jako popularan u Brazilu, jako je ukusan, sočan, mekan, divne narandžaste boje i vrlo lako i brzo se priprema. Tijesto se u potpunosti priprema u blenderu, što je za mene bilo nešto novo, ali- zašto da ne? Rezultat je bio fantastičan, ovaj kolač će se redovno naći na našem stolu.  Uz čašu čaja, mlijeka ili kafu- divota!

U biti sam se držala originalnog recepta, ali sam smanjila količinu šećera, jer 400 grama je bilo previše za moj ukus.

Carrot Apple Breakfast Yogurt/ Karotten-Apfel-Joghurt/ Jogurt s mrkvom i jabukom

Für Rezept in Deutsch bitte scrollen:

I love having simple breakfast in the morning. I must admit that I am skipping breakfast quite often. Unhealthy, I know. However, I am trying to get used to having at least some muesli or yogurt in the morning. One of my favourite breakfast yogurt combination is this one, very low in fat, quick, slightly sweet and easy to throw together. The honey-yogurt-carrot-apple-almond combination is sure to please everybody who loves fruity yogurt meals.

Ich frühstücke (leider) nicht regelmäßig. Der Tag beginnt bei mir meistens mit einer großen Tasse Milchkaffee, meistens ohne Frühstück. Ungesund, ich weiß. Aber ich arbeite daran, und versuche jetzt schon seit ein paar Monaten zumindest ein Joghurt oder Müsli zu essen. Außer am Wochenende, dann genieße ich, ja ich zelebriere mein Frühstück mit meinem Schatz! Die Kombination Apfel-Karotte-Honig mag ich total gerne (auch in Kuchenform ;)), und mit Jogurt vermischt, mit ein paar gerösteten Mandelblättchen garniert- unbeschreblich lecker!

Godinama nisam doručkovala, nekako nisam imala naviku da uz obaveznu veliku šolju kafe s mlijekom nešto i pojedem. Nezdravo, znam, ali nisam imala naviku. Osim vikendom, tad uživam s dragim, jer... nikud nam se ne žuri! Međutim, sad pokušavam barem nešto sitno doručkovati (opet neredovno, ali ipak- pokušavam), i onda najradije volim smućkati neki voćni jogurt, ili müsli. Jedna meni vrlo fina kombinacija je jogurt s narendanom mrkvom, jabukom, bademima i malo meda. Ne da mi se svako jutro rendati mrkve i jabuke, ali se ponekad zaletim, jer znam da ću uživati u okusu ovog jogurtića!
