I made the Bolo de Cenoura and it was so delicious! Omg Brazil what a recipe 🥕

[thefabfabs]

Brazilian here! I currently love in Colombia and when i needed extra money i started to sell Brazilian carrot cake at work. It easy to prepare and always make people surprised on how good it is

[tcianidrico]

I'm brazilian and clicked on the video hoping to see bolo de cenoura and when I saw it was there I was so happy. The whole world needs to know this brazilian masterpiece! It speaks so deeply and tenderly to the most profund feelings of brazilianess, I cant stress enough how happy I'm right now and I even didn't see Beryl doing and eating it, I paused the video and came here to comment 😂😂😂

I used to work in the produce department of a grocery store, and you REALLY ought to wash all your vegetables, even before peeling. Everything was filthy. Things would fall on the floor constantly, and who knows what sort of grime and bacteria the vegetables have encountered after picking and during transit. If you don't feel like washing your carrots before peeling, at least peel them over the garbage can rather than onto your cutting board.

When I bake bolo de cenoura there are a few tips I’ve picked up during the years:
1- you can add some milk or heavy cream to the brigadeiro before adding to the cake. It makes the frosting easier to apply.
2- make fork holes in the cake before putting the brigadeiro.

There is also the Turkish cezerye. It is like the better sister of the Turkish delight. It is made out of carrots and sprinkled with coconut shreds.

Thank you so much for centering Palestine! Stuffed carrots are a signature dish in Palestinian cuisine. My late grandmother made the tastiest stuffed carrots with the tamarind gravy. They are traditionally made with a different type of carrot that is very dark almost black in color, and is reddish purple when cooked. We call them red carrots in Arabic.

For Indians, foodwise, winter means Carrot halwa, hot milk with dry fruits, savoury peas samosas and kachoris and loads of masala tea and cardamom coffee. Heaven is here!!

Hey! For the carrot cake, it's more "classical" to make a lighter frosting, with just water/milk, cocoa, sugar and butter. It's more liquid, it gets through the sponge if you make some little holes in it, and then it cracks because of the sugar crystallizing. Or you can just melt dark chocolate with heavy cream, it's also delicious that way.

1:02 I believe the washing before peeling thing is about not getting whatever might be on the skin/outside all over the inside. For example: if you peel a carrot that has some residue of excrement on it, the excrement residue will likely get onto the exposed, peeled surface of the carrot. 🤗I prefer carrots without residue of excrement.😉Or Listeria, or E Coli…

[MistressCrescent]

The idea of washing first and then peeling is if there’s any bacteria on the outside like from people handling them and then you peel you’re actually exposing the inside to the bacteria/viruses. I’m more likely to scrub and not peel.

My heart warmed when I noticed you mentioned Palestine, Jazakallah Kharian, it means "May Allah reward you''

[fadnama]

3:20 all of the batter left unscraped in that bowl made my eye twitch.

As a Brazilian I say, carrot cake accompanied by black coffee is delicious!!!

[andreacarreiro]

Brazilian here! I LOVE carrot cake, but I don't like the "brigadeiro" frosting. I'd rather go for the traditional icing that's like a chocolate syrup, made with sugar, milk and chocolate powder instead of condensed milk. This chocolate syrup cracks after it cools and is not so sweet as the brigadeiro frosting. I also would put more carrots so the cake tastes more "carroty".

[RachelShadoan]

What I really like about the inclusion of parsley in carrot dishes is that they are from the same family of vegetables, so it feels like a nice variation on a theme

[ssaahify]

Wow, the Jazar mahshi reminds me of my Aunt! A bittersweet memory as she would have been 103 this week. She loved this dish. Thank you for the nostalgia and memory of my beloved Auntie.

[priscillad]

Ahhh eeehhh bolo de cenoura, I sent an email with the recipe, I wasn't chosen, but I'm very happy that someone else was because it's a recipe that deserves to be known around the world. But better than brigadeiro, it is better to use the ich made of cocoa and butter. I got really excited about this
