CARROT RING
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.

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.

Tips:
- Use a food processor or blender to quickly and easily grate the carrots.
- If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can grate the carrots by hand using a box grater.
- Be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated carrots before adding them to the batter.
- You can use any type of nuts you like in this recipe. Walnuts, pecans, and almonds are all good choices.
- If you don't have any nuts on hand, you can omit them from the recipe.
- Be sure to grease the muffin cups well before filling them with batter. This will help the puddings to come out of the cups easily.
- You can bake the puddings in a muffin pan or in a loaf pan. If you bake them in a loaf pan, you will need to adjust the baking time.
- The puddings are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the puddings cool completely before serving.
Conclusion:
Carrot pudding cups are a delicious and easy-to-make Passover dessert. They are made with grated carrots, nuts, and spices, and they are baked until golden brown. These puddings are perfect for a festive Passover dessert or a simple snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover carrots.
