Carrot cake

 

There are no written records of carrot cake recipes before the 19th century. However, it is possible that the recipe originated in Europe, where carrots were a popular food.

The first known printed carrot cake recipe was published in a German cookbook called "Kochbuch für die Deutschen" ("Kitchen Book for Germans) in 1822. The recipe is quite simple and consists of grated carrots, eggs, sugar, wheat flour, and yeast.

In Brazil, the carrot cake recipe probably arrived in the 19th century with German immigration. The first known printed recipe for Brazilian carrot cake was published in a cookbook called "Cozinha Brasileira" ("Brazilian Cuisine) in 1876.

The carrot cake recipe became popular in Brazil in the 20th century, and today it is one of the most consumed cakes in the country. There are many variations of the recipe, but the most traditional version uses grated carrots, eggs, sugar, wheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.

Carrot cake
This carrot cake recipe contains gluten. If you make gluten-free recipes to sell, it is recommended not to work with wheat in the same place you make gluten-free recipes due to contamination because the flour is in the air and can contaminate other foods. Let's go to the recipe!


Carrot cake

Dough Ingredients:

3 cups of wheat
2 cups of sugar
4 eggs
3 medium-chopped carrots
1/2 cup oil

Topping ingredients:

200g sour cream
80g milk or semisweet chocolate

Method of preparation:

in the blender Place the eggs, oil, and carrots in the blender and beat for two to three minutes, until the dough is very smooth. Transfer the dough to a bowl or basin, scraping well all the dough that remains in the blender jar. Add the wheat flour; you can add the flour all at once, then the sugar, and mix gently until all the ingredients are incorporated. It looks like it will go wrong, but it turns out to be a very beautiful dough. Lastly, add the baking powder, stir everything until the yeast is well incorporated, and pour the dough into the mold I am using here, a round mold number 30. Take it to bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes, or I do the Sticks test; if it comes out dry, it's ready.


How to prepare the ganache:

To make the ganache, I mixed the chocolate with the cream. I heated this cream in a small pan, but it didn't come to a boil. I turned off the heat, so I put the chocolate in and kept stirring until it dissolved completely. For this ganache, I used 200 grams of milk cream in a box and an 80-gram chocolate bar. I used 44% cocoa chocolate here, but you can use any other bar, milk, white chocolate, whatever you prefer. One more tip: you can heat this cream in the microwave or in a bain-marie as you prefer. This method that I used took approximately 2 and a half minutes to break up the entire chocolate bar to mix everything. You can also use a processor already with warmed cream, put it in the mini processor, and pass it in the processor, which is much faster; I preferred it that way. After the chocolate is completely melted,

Let's pour this wonderful ganache on top of the cake. Of course, if you prefer, you can also put a chocolate syrup, the one made with sugar that gives a crackle. Spread well to cover the whole cake, then just cut and serve.

Well, I couldn't eat this delight, but my guinea pigs could; it was a super cake. cute, approved by friends and family

The dessert was also popular in the Roman Empire, and was taken to other parts of Europe by Roman soldiers.

Cheesecake arrived in North America with European settlers. The first American cheesecake recipe was published in a cookbook in 1796. Cheesecake quickly became a popular dessert in the United States, and today it is one of the most popular desserts in the country.

There are many different cheesecake variations, but the classic recipe is made with cream cheese, sugar, eggs, flour and butter. The cheesecake is usually baked in a biscuit crust, and can be served with a variety of toppings, such as berry sauce, chocolate, or whipped cream.

Ingredients for the base:


1/2 cup demerara sugar
2 tea cups of rice flour
1 cup of sweet sprinkle tea
2 tablespoons of melted butter
1 tablespoon powdered yeast
300 g fresh cream (cream)
1 teaspoon of salt
1 lightly beaten egg
1 mold with a removable base 26 cm



Ingredients for the dough:

How to prepare the base:


In a bowl, mix the rice flour, the sweet sprinkles, the sugar, the salt, the baking powder, and stir. Add the egg, the cream, and the butter, and keep stirring until it comes off the hands.

Dough preparation method:


In a bowl, beat the cream cheese to soften, add a cup of sugar and beat until well incorporated, add the other cup of sugar, beating until incorporated, add the vanilla essence, the cornstarch, the eggs (one at a time), add one beaten egg, add another beaten egg, and so on. Pour the cream over the base and bake in a preheated oven at 180° in a water bath with already hot water for approximately 1:30 hours or until the dough is firm.


How to prepare the topping:


Place the blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until thickened. Turn off the heat and set it aside.

Gluten-free carrot bread

The first recipe for carrot bread appeared in Germany in the 16th century. The bread was made with grated carrots, wheat flour, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and yeast. Carrots were used to give bread a sweeter, more velvety flavor.

The original German carrot bread recipe was a little different from the recipe we know today. The bread was made with grated carrots, wheat flour, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, yeast, and spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Carrot bread spread throughout Europe and, in the 17th century, reached North America. In America, carrot bread has been adapted to local ingredients and flavors. For example, American carrot bread is not usually made with spices.

Carrot bread became popular in Brazil in the 20th century. The original German recipe was adapted for Brazilian ingredients and flavors. For example, Brazilian carrot bread is usually made with chopped chocolate or filled with dulce de leche.

Currently, carrot bread is one of the most popular breads in the world. It is a tasty and nutritious bread that can be eaten for breakfast, as a snack, or as a dessert.

Gluten-free black forest cake



The recipe for the Black Forest Cake originated in Germany, in the Black Forest region. The cake is made with three layers of chocolate cake, filled with vanilla cream and black cherries in syrup. The cake is decorated with whipped cream, black cherries, and chocolate shavings.


The origin of the black forest cake is not certain, but there are two versions of its creation. One version says that the cake was created in 1915 by pastry chef Josef Keller, who worked at Café Ahrend in Bad Godesberg, Germany. The other version says that the cake was created in 1930 by confectioner Erwin Hildenbrand, who worked in the city of Tübingen, also in Germany.


The Black Forest cake quickly became one of the most popular cakes in Germany and is now known all over the world. It's a delicious, festive cake that's perfect for special occasions.

Below is a gluten-free version of the recipe. 

Gluten-free black forest cake





Ingredients for the dough:


8 gems
150 ml of oil
3/4 cup cocoa powder or 2 heaping tablespoons carob powder
2 tea cups of sugar
1 tea cup of rice flour
8 egg whites
1 cup of sweet sprinkle tea
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
1 dessert spoon of xanthan gum
1 tablespoon of potato starch
1 tablespoon powdered yeast
1 tablespoon of vinegar
1 tea cup of water
(Water is only needed if using xanthan gum.)
1 mold with removable bottom, 15x10 cm, lined with parchment paper



Ingredients for the filling and topping:


1 tea cup of water 

1 tea cup of sugar 

100 g of cherries cherries to decorate 

900 g whipped cream


Note: You can replace the natural cherries with canned cherries, and if you are going to replace them, you don't need to boil them; just use them directly with whipped cream.


Dough preparation method:

Beat the whites in snow and book. In a container, mix the rice flour, the sweet tapioca, the potato starch, and the xanthan gum. Stir. After mixing everything very well, add the chocolate powder and set aside. Beat the sugar and the egg yolks until a light cream forms. Add the oil without stopping beating, and then mix the reserved flour mix. Add the water, the vinegar, the bicarbonate of soda, and the egg whites. After mixing the egg whites completely, add the baking powder, mix well, and pour into the mold. Bake in a preheated oven at 180° for 30 to 45 minutes, or do the toothpick test; if it comes out dry, it's ready.



How to prepare the filling and topping:

In a pan, put the chopped cherries, sugar, and water. Stir and bring to a boil until reduced by half. Turn off the heat and let it cool. After cooling, strain with a sieve. Reserve the syrup to wet the cake and the cherries for the filling. Divide the whipped cream into two parts: one part to divide into two for the filling and the other for the topping. In one of the parts, add the chopped cherries and set aside. Cut the cake horizontally into three parts, place one part in the mold in which it was baked, wet with the cherry syrup, then pour half of the filling and spread well, place the other half of the cake, wet with the syrup, pour the rest of the filling, cover with the last half, soak with the syrup, take it to freeze for 1 to 2 hours, then decorate to taste, decorate with the remaining cream, and add 1/2 cup of sugar, which can be replaced by the cherry syrup. To decorate, I used a pastry bag with a 1m pitanga nozzle, made rosettes, and put cherries on top. And it's ready!



Orange Cupcake with Chantilly

 

The cupcake recipe emerged in England in the 17th century. The first written record of a cupcake was in 1796, in the book "American Cookery" by Amelia Simmons. In the book, Simmons describes a cupcake as "a cake to be baked in little cups".


Cupcakes were originally made with simple ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. They were baked in small clay or ceramic cups and served as a simple dessert.


In the 19th century, cupcakes started to become more popular in the United States. This was due to the fact that the United States was becoming a more urbanized country, and people were starting to have less time to cook. Cupcakes were a convenient and easy-to-make option, and they quickly became a popular dessert.


In the 20th century, cupcakes started to become even more popular. This was due to the fact that people started to care more about their health, and cupcakes were a healthier option than traditional cakes. Cupcakes also began to be served on special occasions, such as weddings and birthdays.
