I love cooking... especially for my friends. However, I never follow recipes, they are usually created along the way. So as I am no big fan of cooking books (there are way too many on the market) and as I often get asked:
"How did you make this?!"

Foodmania will be my own diary from what I consider gastronomical pleasures.

Bon appétit!

Carrots, oranges, walnuts and girls film night is a good "mélange"


Film night with the girls accompanied by "the carrot cake" that almost makes you feel healthy and definitely makes you happy!

Cake:

3 eggs
1,5 dl sugar (preferably brown)

3 dl flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
(1 tsp grated ginger, optional)
1 tsp cinnamon
400 g shredded carrots
0,5 dl orange juice
0,5 dl oil (raps, grape)
100 g walnuts chopped (and raisins, optional)

1. Separate egg-white and yoke and bat the egg-white it is until it is stiff. Then mix dry ingredients together, i.e. flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and add the wet the ingredients, i.e. oil, juice, carrot, egg yoke and brown sugar into the dry. Finally add the egg-white.
3. Bake at 180 degrees for 45 min in the oven, or till the dough no longer sticks to a test-stick.

Frosting:
3,5 dl powder sugar
150 g Philadelphia (for more personal touch use FR/BE/GER: chevreaux (NOR: Snøfrisk))
1 tbs butter
2 tbs citron juice

*if you decide to go for the chevreaux cheese then some fresh rosemary fits well as decoration...
