Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Cut the carrots into thin pieces and blend them with the eggs and the oil until completely smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and sugar, and mix well.
- Gradually add the blended carrot mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
- Grease a baking pan with butter and flour, then pour in half of the batter.
- Mix the cocoa powder into the remaining batter until fully combined.
- Pour the chocolate batter randomly over the carrot batter.
- Use a knife or spatula to gently swirl the chocolate into the carrot mixture, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
