I can't find a link in English to what I call a carrot cake so here is a quick translation of my mother's (my comments in parenthesis, feel free to ask questions!):
Carrot Cake
2 cups flour
3 eggs
2 medium carrots, grated or chopped
3 cups sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 tablespoon baking powder
In a blender, blend the carrots, sugar and oil
Add flour and baking powder
Pour in a buttered and floured sheet pan
Bake in hot oven for 3 minutes, lower temperature until done (ok, this is an old fashioned recipe - I preheat my oven to a higher temperature than usual for baking cake, then lower it to the usual temperature, whatever that is in your oven)
Chocolate glaze
(this is almost like a pudding and you don't want a very thick layer - 2mm is good)
1.5 cups milk
5 tablespoons cocoa
Some sugar if you want (I hate my mother when she writes things like that in recipes)
1 heaping tablespoon of starch
1/4 cup of butter
Mix the milk, cocoa, sugar and starch until smooth. Cook over low heat until it thickens. Add butter and stir. Pour while still hot over warm cake.
