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:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Use Fresh Carrots: Fresh carrots will give your carrot ring the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy organic carrots to avoid any pesticides or herbicides.
  • Grate the Carrots Finely: Finely grated carrots will help the carrot ring hold its shape better. You can use a food processor or a box grater to grate the carrots.
  • Use a Bundt Pan: A Bundt pan is the best pan to use for a carrot ring. It will give the ring its classic shape and allow it to cook evenly.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the carrot ring tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Carrot Ring at the Right Temperature: The carrot ring should be baked at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) so that it cooks evenly throughout.
  • Let the Carrot Ring Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Grandma Minnie's Carrot Ring is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a carrot ring that is sure to impress your family and friends.
