Steps:
- Grate the carrots (the finer the moister the pudding gets) and preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Combine flour, sugar and spices in a bowl. In a second bowl cream the butter. Add to the flour-mixture.
- Add the carrots and the raisins. Blend well.
- Fill into two oven-proof dishes, sprinkle with some sugar and bake for 40-45 minutes (cover after 20 minutes if already browned on top).
- Serve with vanilla ice-cream, whipped cream or custard.
Tips:
- Use fresh and tender carrots for the best flavor and texture.
- Grate the carrots finely so that they blend seamlessly into the pudding.
- Do not overcook the carrots, as this will make them mushy.
- Use high-quality, unsalted butter for a rich and flavorful pudding.
- Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, this will help incorporate air into the pudding, making it lighter and airier.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the grated carrots, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the pudding warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar or topped with whipped cream.
