Carrot Ring Recipes

GRANDMA MINNIE'S CARROT RING

Steps:

• Peel the carrots. Use the coarse holes on a box grater to grate them; place them in a large bowl.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar together. Add the egg, water, and grated carrots, and continue mixing on medium to incorporate. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt; mix on medium-low until the batter comes together. Remove from the mixer and set aside.
• Butter a 9½-inch Savarin ring mold. Spread the batter evenly in the buttered mold; wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the carrot ring from the refrigerator and let it temper for 30 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove the carrot ring from the oven and allow it cool for a few minutes.
• After the carrot ring has cooled slightly, unmold it onto a large, circular platter. Serve with vegetables mounded in the center, if you wish.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 4-cup tube pan or small Bundt pan.
• Put carrots in a small pot and cover with water by at least an inch. Bring to a boil and cook until carrots are tender, 20 to 30 minutes (the thinner the slices the more quickly they cook). Add more water if needed to keep carrots mostly submerged.
• Drain and mash the carrots with a potato masher or fork, then measure out 1 cup of the mash. (Reserve any remaining carrots to eat with a little butter and salt if you like.) Let carrots cool.
• Put baking soda and 1 tablespoon warm water in the bowl of an electric mixer and mix to dissolve. Add shortening or butter and sugar and beat until fluffy. Beat in egg, lemon juice and salt until smooth, then beat in carrots. Finally, beat in flour and baking powder.
• Pour batter into pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm.
