Carrot cake with kefir. Carrot pie with kefir in a slow cooker Carrot jellied pie with kefir

Today on our agenda is carrot cake with different additives and flavors. These will be walnuts, lemon cream, oranges, cottage cheese and pears. In addition, you can make carrot cake with semolina and kefir, but without flour. Housewives often call this pastry “saffron milk cap” for the juicy color of the dough.

Why carrot cake? Sometimes it happens that our family members consider healthy foods to be tasteless. And they refuse to eat them. This is especially true for carrots. Children (and not only them) try to pick it out of the plate as soon as they see it.

But there is also good news. You can offer them such dishes with this vegetable that it is not you who will run after them, but they will run after you - asking for more. Therefore, today we are preparing a healthy sweet pastry - carrot cake.

If you don’t want to stand at the stove, then you can or. An excellent dessert that is simply impossible to spoil.

Carrot cake with walnuts and cinnamon – recipe and photo

Let's start with a simple dessert. We will prepare carrot cake with walnuts and cinnamon. There is no need to be particularly gentle with him. On the contrary, even crushed products in the recipe should retain their recognizable texture.

Ingredients:

4 carrots;
150 grams of nuts;
eggs with separated whites and yolks – 2 pcs.;
flour - a full spoon;
60 g of sugar in whites and yolks;
lemon zest - 1 tbsp;
a little cinnamon;
baking powder (5 grams) or soda (on the tip of a teaspoon).

First of all, grind the nuts in a food processor into crumbs the size of a corn grain.

You can put the nuts in a plastic bag and crush them right there with a meat mallet or a puree pestle.

We grate the carrots on a coarse grater and add the shavings to the nuts.

Separately, whisk some of the sugar, yolks, cinnamon, flour, soda (quench with vinegar) or baking powder.

We wash and dry the whisk and start working on the whites. Beat them until they form small bubbles, then add sugar and beat until they form a stable foam.

The secrets to perfect whites: first, don’t let a single drop of yolk get into them, and second, cool the whites thoroughly before whipping.

Now we have three containers: with nuts-carrots, dough and proteins. We combine them into one creamy texture. Stir from bottom to top, not allowing the protein foam to settle.

Pour the dough into a greased and sprinkled baking sheet and place in a hot oven for 1 hour. When baked, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Let the baked goods cool a little and invite the family for tea.

The best simple carrot cake recipe with cottage cheese

Another simple “saffron milk”, but a little more high in calories, is carrot cake with cottage cheese. But if you take low-fat cottage cheese, the problem of extra calories will be completely solved. And this is already a dietary carrot cake.

Ingredients:

4 juicy carrots;
half a kilo of cottage cheese;
4 eggs;
sugar to your taste - from 0.5 to 1 cup;
an incomplete glass of semolina;
250 gram glass of kefir;
a little vanilla sugar.

First of all, pour kefir into the semolina, mix and set aside for 20 minutes to swell.

Kefir can be replaced with yogurt, only without flavoring additives.

At this time, chop the carrots using a medium grater. Combine cottage cheese with eggs and sugar, stir well.

Add carrots to the dough. We send semolina with kefir there too. Mix by hand or with a mixer until you get a dough similar to sour cream.

Bake on a lined baking sheet for about half an hour.

This recipe is ideal for cheesecakes. You can bake portioned carrot cupcakes in molds.

Recipe for carrot cake with semolina and kefir without flour

This pie has a melting, light, airy dough. And all because the recipe for carrot cake with semolina includes very well chopped carrots.

Ingredients:

semolina (measured in 200-gram glasses) - 2 pcs.;
2 sweet carrots;
200 gram glass of kefir;
raw eggs - 2 pcs.;

Preparation:

1. Pass the carrots through a blender or three onto the finest grater. Squeeze out the juice so that there is no moisture in the dough.

You can replace half the semolina with flour in the recipe. But, as for me, pure semolina gives a more delicate result.

After half an hour, you will notice that the dough has swelled and become like a thick cream. Pour it into a baking dish lined with paper and put it in the oven for half an hour.

The readiness of the pie will be indicated by the golden color of the baked goods and a subtle aroma. Servings on plates can be decorated with whipped cream.

4. We obtain a smooth, flowing dough, reminiscent of sour cream in consistency

5. Pour it into a greased or parchment-lined pan and place the sliced pear on top. Bake for half an hour. When the family comes running to smell the aroma, it means the pie is ready.

2. Beat eggs with sugar into a stable foam, add vegetable oil.

3. Stir in carrots and raisins. Add flour and baking soda, quenched with vinegar.

Dry the raisins removed from the water on a paper towel and roll them in flour - this will ensure they are evenly distributed in the dough.

4. Mix everything with a mixer into a homogeneous, not very thick dough and place in the oven with medium heat.

5. While the pie is baking, prepare the cream. Combine condensed milk and sour cream, add grated lemon zest and lemon juice. Another 3 minutes of work with the mixer - and you're done.

Due to their sweetness, carrots have long been used in cooking to make desserts. Nowadays, adding carrots to baked goods is also very popular and is one of the mandatory attributes of a healthy diet. After all, baking should be not only tasty, but also healthy. By the way, carrot cake was included in the list of the most popular recipes of the last century, and in 2011 it was recognized as the most favorite cupcake in Great Britain.

We invite you to prepare a beautiful and healthy carrot cake, the simplest and most delicious recipe. It differs from a cake in the presence of sour cream, which is used to grease the cake layers and the top of the cake.

Other cream options also work very well for carrot cake, so in this article you will learn 6 carrot cake recipes:

Carrots enrich the cake with vitamins (beta-carotene, C, D, E, B vitamins) and microelements (calcium, potassium, manganese, iron, magnesium, phosphorus), which are especially necessary for the full mental and physical development of children. The fats contained in kefir, sour cream and butter help the body absorb beta-carotene.

Therefore, we advise you to try baking carrot cake. The recipe with photos will help you step by step to understand the technology of preparing it in a slow cooker and in the oven. This recipe used a Redmond multicooker, but this recipe is also suitable for other models.

How to cook carrot cake with kefir in a slow cooker (and in the oven)

First you need to prepare all the necessary ingredients.

The carrots must be washed and peeled, then grated on a fine grater.

Beat eggs with sugar with a mixer. Beat until the mixture becomes noticeably lighter in color and its volume has approximately doubled. Then pour kefir and melted butter into the egg-sugar mixture and beat everything again. Then put grated carrots into the dough and mix everything.

Next, you need to sift the flour and pour it into the dough, add semolina, soda and mix everything well. Please note that you may need a little more or less flour than indicated in the ingredients (this is affected by the amount of carrots and their juiciness). The consistency of the dough should be similar to thick sour cream.

If desired, you can add chopped walnuts or raisins to the dough.

Heat the multicooker bowl with a small piece of butter a little by selecting the “Frying” program in the menu. Then grease it with melted butter, sprinkle a little semolina and put the dough in it. Select the "Baking" program and set the timer for 65 minutes. Since the dough contains quite a lot of moisture, it is better to bake the carrot cake in a slow cooker with the valve removed to collect condensation.

At the end of the program, you need to check the cake for readiness by inserting a toothpick or wooden skewer in several places. If there are traces of dough left on it, it is advisable to bake the cake in the “Baking” mode for about 5-10 minutes.

After this, you need to remove the bowl with the cake from the multicooker and leave it to cool (this will take 15-20 minutes). Then, using a steaming basket, remove the cake and bowls, place it on a plate and leave to cool.

If you bake carrot cake in the oven, it is better to put the dough in a pan lined with parchment. The oven must be preheated to 180 degrees and bake the cake at this temperature for 30-40 minutes (the readiness of the cake is determined as described above). The finished cake must be removed from the oven, left to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transferred to a plate.

In the meantime, you can prepare sour cream. To do this, put sour cream, vanilla sugar and powdered sugar in a deep container and beat everything thoroughly with a mixer. By the way, you don’t have to buy powdered sugar in the store; you can easily make it by grinding a few tablespoons of sugar in a coffee grinder.

When the cake has completely cooled, you need to cut it lengthwise into two layers and generously grease both layers with cream. If desired, the bottom cake can be sprinkled with chopped walnuts.

All that remains is to cover the bottom cake with the top one and grease the top (and, if desired, the sides) of the cake with cream, and also decorate it. Finely grated chocolate, lemon zest, candied fruits, pieces of marmalade, nuts or raisins are good decorations.

The decorated cake should be refrigerated for several hours. After this, it can be cut into portions and served with tea.

Alternatively, the cake can be topped with chocolate glaze made from two tablespoons of cocoa, 50 g of sour cream, three tablespoons of sugar and 50 g of butter. On top of the dark glaze, the cake can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or braided shavings.

Now you know how to bake a carrot cake, the classic recipe with step-by-step photos is given above.

Recipe for carrot cake with kefir

Those who love tasty and healthy food will love carrot cake with kefir. It has a delightful aroma and excellent taste. And the dough turns out not only tender and airy, but also does not go stale for a long time. Ladies will especially appreciate this recipe, because its main ingredient is a real cure for aging. Fermented milk drink can improve the health of the body and preserve youth. This dessert will become a favorite treat for adults and children.

To make carrot cake, even a beginner in cooking can knead the dough with kefir. It turns out light and somewhat reminiscent of a biscuit. The usual recipe for making dough involves using kefir itself, fresh eggs, sugar, soda and wheat flour.

Grocery list

For the recipe for our carrot cake with kefir you will need the following ingredients:

500 g carrots;
1 glass of kefir;
1 cup of sugar;
1 pinch of baking soda (you can use baking powder);
3 chicken eggs;
450 g flour;
1-2 tbsp. l. decoys.

Some housewives supplement the recipe with butter or margarine to make the pie juicier and with a richer taste. You can take any carrot, but chefs recommend the Punisher variety as the most suitable one. It is small in size (up to 15 cm), bright in color, with a rounded tip, and is distinguished by its tender, juicy flesh and sweet taste. Therefore, the pie with the punisher will turn out to be the sweetest.

Cooking method

1. Before kneading the pie dough according to the recipe, prepare 500 g of carrots. Peel it and grate it. It is better to use the side with small serrations to ensure even distribution of the filling when kneading the dough.

2. Pour 1 cup of kefir into a container, topping it with 1 cup of sugar mixed with 1 pinch of baking soda or baking powder.

3. Stir and add 3 chicken eggs to the kefir mass. Bring it to a homogeneous state and put carrots in it. Stir the ingredients again.

4. After this, add 450 g of flour and 1-2 tbsp. l. semolina (it will absorb carrot juice). Knead the dough well until it becomes elastic and plastic.

5. Now set the dough aside and prepare a baking sheet or baking dish. To do this, grease it well with butter or cover it with parchment paper (or food foil), you can sprinkle semolina on top (then the cake will definitely not stick).

6. When the container for making carrot cake with kefir is ready, distribute the dough evenly over it and place in the oven, heated to 170 degrees.

7. After 20 minutes, check the cake in the oven. If it emits a delicious aroma and has acquired a yellowish tint, then it is ready. If not, put the pie back in the oven and wait another 5-10 minutes. Then check again for readiness. You can also determine the degree of readiness by piercing the dough with a toothpick or match. If there is no piece of dough stuck to the bottom tip, it means the pie is well baked and can be taken out.

Skilled housewives exclude such an ingredient as eggs from the kefir pie recipe. This will reduce the calorie content of the dish. And if you don’t want to stand at the stove for a long time, you can prepare the batter, pour it into the mold, add the filling and pour the batter on top again. This recipe is called “lazy” or “filled”. It takes 15-30 minutes to prepare the pie this way.

Baking a regular carrot cake with kefir takes about 20-40 minutes. To avoid wasting time, preheat the oven or slow cooker before kneading the dough. In the latter case, the dish will take a little longer to cook, but its quality will be the same as when cooked in a conventional oven.

Please note that you should not serve the pie hot - it may seem a little raw. Wait a while for the dish to cool, cut it and you can enjoy its amazing taste. It’s especially nice to enjoy carrot cake with tea or coffee.

To do this, beat the eggs with a mixer until foam forms. Then, gradually adding sugar to them, beat the eggs until they form a white, stable foam. After this, you need to add kefir and refined sunflower oil to the egg-sugar mixture and mix everything lightly.

Constantly stirring the dough, gradually pour the dry ingredients into the liquid mixture. Mix everything carefully until a homogeneous mass is obtained. If desired, to obtain more aromatic baked goods, you can add vanillin, cinnamon, cardamom, or a little lemon or orange zest to the cake.

Drain the raisins in a colander, pat dry with napkins and lightly roll in flour. This is done so that the raisins are more evenly distributed throughout the entire volume of the cupcake. Add prepared nuts, raisins and carrots to the dough. It is advisable to squeeze the carrots a little with your hands first. By the way, carrot cake with kefir in a slow cooker can even be prepared from the cakes that remain after preparing carrot juice.

Grease the multicooker bowl with vegetable oil. To make the finished cake easier to remove from the bowl, it is better to cover it with baking paper. For this purpose, you need to cut out a circle of suitable size from paper, place it on the bottom and also grease it with oil. Place the dough into the bowl prepared in this way and smooth the top with a spatula. In the menu, select the “Baking” program and set the timer for 1 hour 20 minutes. Do not turn off the “Heating” mode.

After the multicooker finishes working and the beep sounds, leave the cake to heat for another 10 minutes. Then remove the bowl with the cake from the multicooker and leave it to cool for another 15 minutes. After this, put the steaming container into the bowl and quickly turn the bowl upside down. The cupcake will end up sitting on a plastic container. Next you need to carefully remove the paper and transfer it to a plate. When the cake has completely cooled, you can sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. A carrot cake recipe in a slow cooker with a photo without oil, which is outlined above, goes well with tea, coffee or fruit and berry compotes.
