This week's bake at Tuesdays With Dorie (TWD) is Fluted Carrot-Tangerine Cake. It is an inch high, light and spongy carrot cake with the fragrance and flavours from ginger and citrus.
I have used orange instead of tangerine. And the pie pan I used has straight sides instead of fluted. As usual, I have reduced the amount of sugar, using only a scant half cup, and it works for me. I can already taste the sweetness, and it tastes sweeter on the next day too. I cannot imagine how sweet it is with the full amount, a whole cup of it for a one-inch cake. There's grated carrots, orange zest and juice, and grated fresh ginger in the batter.
It certainly smells lovely when the cake is baking in the oven!

Bet it's one tasty cake, Joyce! Great with less sugar!
ReplyDeleteIt is sweet with the full amount of sugar but it means you only need a little sliver - so it lasts longer :)
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce,
ReplyDeleteAlthough this cake looks short, it looks really good with light and fluffy texture :)

You cake looks lovely. I used the amount of sugar called for an n the recipe and thought it tasted great, but then again, I have a sweet tooth!
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly a yummy cake, one that I will be repeating because it is simple and good, just my cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteI never thought to reduce the sugar, but you're right, it would have tasted just as good (and be healthier)! I'll have to try that next time. Your cake looks great!
ReplyDeleteLove carrot cake love this lighter version
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks lovely Joyce, and it doesn't look as though reducing the sugar affected the texture - it still looks moist and delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very moist and tasty!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely light cake that is full of deliciousness. Yours looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSince I used lemon zest and lemon juice, my cake did not taste overly sweet but it is good to know that the sugar can be reduced without issue!
ReplyDeleteI used orange as well and the smell really was amazing! I was surprised by how light yet moist this cake was.
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce, this looks good. I'm imagining the orange aroma coming from the oven...
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to having this cake with tea.
