Day of Orange! - Carrot cake recipe

It is Kingsday in the Netherlands!

Which basically means everything and everyone is orange for one whole day. This is one if the occasions where us Dutchies suddenly get immensely patriotic for some reason, the other one is anything involving our national soccer team or Dutchies rocking things abroad - I name a Carice van Houten, Michiel Huisman, Rutger Hauer.

But it was also my birthday last Saturday! I turned 23.. my god, it's getting serious.
So in honor of our King, Queen and me aging here my signature recipe:

the Carrouk Cake.

One needs:

• 2 eggs
• 175 grams of shredded carrot
• 212 grams of buckwheat flour
• 250 grams of palm sugar
• 112 ml of sunflower oil
• 1 tbsp of baking soda
• 1 tbsp of baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Cinnamon, nutmeg and ground clove to taste

Preheat the over to 175°C

• First mix together your wet ingredients for 2 minutes
• Mix your dry ingredients
• Combine your wet and dry mixture
• Put your mixture in a greased cake tin (add a baking sheet to easily remove the cake after baking)
• Bake for 45 minutes
• Check if it's baked, if not bake for additional 5 minutes until fully set

Et voila! Cake :D

I actually did something I said to do many times before - I made a video!! It is my first one ever with more editing done than ever before, so I hope it's doable. I will share it anyways.

Have a nice Kingsday if in the Netherlands! Maybe the sun will join us on this day of festivities. 

Love,
Anouk
