Since then, the carrot cake periodically turns into a cake and pleases not only the husband, but also all the guests.

Cream fixative is for those who want to play it safe. If the whites are whipped properly, they hold their shape perfectly. But if you decide to add a fixative, look at how much cream the pack is designed for and use the amount you need.

At the very beginning, I wrote that I often make a carrot cake, not a cake, and it comes with frosting. So, for those who want a recipe for icing on the cake: Beat 50 grams of butter (room temperature or even a little softer) with 150 grams of mascarpone cream cheese, adding 200 grams of powdered sugar in three additions. This is not a cream! Pay attention to the amount of powder - this is exactly the glaze. The top of the pie is covered with it.
I always cut the cake like a cake, spread half the frosting in the middle, and the remaining half goes on top. The frosting gives this cake its own special touch, so don't ignore it! By the way, the cream can be made on the basis of mascarpone, it’s just a little expensive, although very tasty, but the creamy curd cream is also very good - a worthy replacement.

Preparation:

First, let's prepare everything. Peel the carrots and grate them on a fine grater (not a hedgehog grater, just a small carrot grater). Sift the flour along with baking powder, salt and soda. Cut the pineapple (3 circles) into small pieces, and chop the walnuts with a knife.
Chopped pineapple slices and chopped nuts:

Beat the eggs until white. This will take approximately 6-7 minutes of your time. Add sugar to the eggs in three additions and beat for another minute each time. Next, without turning off the mixer, pour in the oil in a thin stream. It turns out to be a kind of runny mayonnaise. Add flour to the egg mixture and gently mix slightly. We also throw nuts, cinnamon, coconut flakes, pineapple pieces and carrots there.
All ingredients before mixing:

Mix lightly again and pour the dough into a mold, the bottom of which must first be lined with baking paper. It is important to remember that the longer you mix, the denser the cake will be as the egg mixture will settle more and more.
Dough in the form:

Bake for approximately 45 minutes. If you see that the top may burn, cover the pie with foil. Check readiness with a dry stick. Before putting the pie in the oven, you can rotate the pan around its axis, getting a small funnel and slightly raised sides. This way there won’t be a big pile on top after baking. Here I have already slightly overdid it, but this does not spoil the structure of the pie at all. After baking, take out the pan with the finished cake, carefully pry the cake from the edges with a knife, helping to move away from the walls. I don’t have any problems with this, but if you want to play it safe, cover the sides with baking paper first. Once completely out of pan, place cake on a wire rack and let cool completely.

Using a long knife, lightly trim the top and cut the sponge cake into 2 halves lengthwise. If you like wet cakes, now is the time to take the syrup from canned pineapples and soak our round sponges a little. But don’t overdo it, because you can soften the cakes so much that you can’t fold them anymore – you can’t move them. A few spoons for each is enough.
Pie cut into two parts:

Cream for carrot cake. Rub the cottage cheese through a sieve, buy it already pureed or place it in a blender, add 20 grams of cream and beat until smooth. I use the latter method. Beat the cream to soft peaks and, gradually adding powder and, if you want to be on the safe side, a cream fixer, beat to stable peaks. Gently stir in the cottage cheese.
Ready cream:

Cut the remaining 3 pineapple slices into small pieces. Visually separate a little less than half of the cream and cover one part of our pie with it (the smaller half), laying pineapple pieces on top. I cover the top part of the pie with cream, and then cover it with the bottom, since there is a perfectly flat surface there.

Cream layer with pineapple pieces:

After the second half is applied to the cream, press evenly on the entire surface, but only lightly, so that the cream is brought closer to the edges and even a little beyond them. You can trim it slightly and, if necessary, add a little cream to the sides along the edges.

Lightly coat the entire surface with cream. Next, put the remaining cream in a pastry bag with a nozzle and beautifully draw any flowers or whatever your heart desires. As you can see, I like to make these sort of... figured turrets, or something... and I just coat the sides with an even layer. I have a hard time with beauty jewelry, so this kind of primitive minimalism is just for me. I think it's cute!

Place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Of course, it’s better to make it in the evening so that the carrot cake can calmly set and brew, and then eat and treat it the very next day. Enjoy your tea!
