GRANDMA MINNIE'S CARROT RING



Grandma Minnie's Carrot Ring image

When I was growing up, holidays in the Kahan house were celebrated with family meals made by my Russian grandmother, Grandma Minnie. One of her most beloved recipes was her savory carrot cake, called Grandma Minnie's Carrot Ring. Similar to cornbread's sweet-savory combination of flavors, it is delicious served mounded with Braised Romano Beans with Salmoriglio or your favorite hearty winter vegetable. (Note: please plan ahead for overnight refrigeration of batter.)

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

7 ounces carrots
1 cup unsalted butter, plus additional to butter the mold
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for rolling
1/2 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

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.

CARROT RING



Carrot Ring image

A cross between a carrot cake and a carrot pudding, this velvety, warm, gently sweet side dish is a classic Jewish holiday offering. This version is adapted from Dana Green of Benicia, Calif., who got it from her grandmother. "Everyone who encounters it is wary of the name, carrot ring, but they end up loving it, they have seconds," Ms. Green said. You can make this ahead by allowing the ring to cool in the pan, then wrapping the whole thing in plastic wrap, pan and all, and freezing it for up to one month. Let thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Unwrap and reheat in a 300-degree oven for about 30 minutes or so before serving.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup shortening or unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 to 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, to taste
1 large egg
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

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.

CARROT RING



Carrot Ring image

This is a recipe I got from my mother that everyone in the family loves. Batter can be made a few hours in advance, but do not cook until ready to serve as the souffle will fall slightly after removing from the oven and doesn't reheat well (it tastes fine the next day...just isn't as pretty). I'm guessing on the number of servings & prep time.

Tips:

  • Ensure accurate measurements: Using a kitchen scale for precise measurements of ingredients, especially flour and sugar, contributes to consistent and successful baking results.
  • Properly prepare carrot purée: To achieve a smooth and flavorful carrot purée, select fresh, high-quality carrots, peel and cut them into small pieces before steaming or boiling until tender. Purée the carrots while still warm to obtain a smooth consistency.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps firm it up, making it easier to handle and less likely to spread excessively during baking.
  • Prevent sticking: To prevent the fruit ring from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the bundt pan thoroughly before pouring in the batter.
  • Monitor baking time carefully: Keep a close eye on the carrot fruit ring while baking, as the exact baking time may vary depending on your oven. Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.

The carrot fruit ring presented in this article is a delightful and visually appealing treat that combines the flavors of carrot cake and fruit.
