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.
