I have always been rather skeptical about carrot cakes as a culinary falsification. Carrot cake? Hmm… Isn’t it like “guess what” recipes? Or baking. born of desire feed relatives with carrots at all costs, because there is vitamin A?
All in all, main idea I saw carrot creativity in clogging the taste of the main ingredient with various spices and amazing the family or employees at work with this mystery, who will shake their heads and agree: “yes, indeed, it’s not clear from what.”
This is a lean, vegetarian carrot cake with semolina. Flour with juicy carrots gives a strong stickiness, so carrot cakes are often made either 50/50 with flour and semolina or just semolina, which gives the dough a nice loose texture. My pie is pure mannik. Very tasty and original. Do not be embarrassed that it is lean - it is amazingly tasty and harmonious, I bake it all year round. Fragrant, juicy, like an oriental sweet soaked in syrup. Carrots need to be taken strong and juicy, if you use wilted, you must additionally add water to the dough. The pie is egg-free and flour-free, so I recommend chilling it before cutting it into portions. Cardamom is very important to the flavor, nothing can replace it, cardamom pairs well with carrots and doesn't overpower them. I add more to the dough lemon peel and vanilla sugar. I do not recommend adding other spices (cloves, cinnamon).

We sift the flour through a sieve in order to weed out extraneous additives (such additives are sometimes found in flour), and also so that it is saturated with oxygen and our product turns out to be airy. And, again, mix well so that there are no lumps left in the dough.
We cover the multicooker pan with parchment, greased with butter.
If, instead of carrots, you use apples, then they should not be cut into large pieces and poured onto parchment.
Pour batter on top of them.
We turn on the slow cooker in the "Baking" mode for 40 minutes, bake with the lid closed, but leave the valve open so as not to cook under pressure.
After the beep, we do not open the multicooker, but let it stand for 15 minutes, and only then open the lid and take out the manna.
Who among us does not like to drink a cup of tea with something sweet in the evening? Agree, we all do this sometimes. And instead of eating sweets and chocolates, many bake pies, buns and cakes. Made by hand, they give a special home comfort, and their taste is more pleasant.

1. Let's start by preparing the liquid part of our dough. To do this, take a deep bowl and a blender or mixer. Beat sugar with eggs.
2. Next, we need to mix this egg mass with butter or margarine. To do this, it would be best to defrost it beforehand or layer it on thin plates and again beat everything well with a mixer. It is better not to pour in melted hot butter, as this can lead to protein folding.
3. The last liquid component is kefir. Just pour it in and mix the liquid for uniformity.
4. Now you need to add semolina to all this and mix well. The most important thing in mannik recipes is to let the grits brew. It must necessarily absorb some of the liquid, swell and increase in volume. Otherwise, you risk getting not a pie, but it’s not clear what.
5. You can ask a perfectly reasonable question: when to add carrots? Now it's her turn. The vegetable must be washed and peeled, and then chopped on the smallest grater into a puree.
And this puree, along with vanilla and a bag of baking powder, must be mixed with the dough.

2. An important element is also the form of baking. Rather, not even herself, but the way of her preparation. If the form is silicone, then nothing needs to be done, in this regard it is just perfect. It is better to grease a metal form with oil or sprinkle with flour. You can also line it with baking paper.
3. Pour the risen dough into the mold and smooth it out. Before doing this, make sure carrot puree distributed evenly. And you can remove the cake to bake for about 30 minutes.
4. As it will be a pleasant golden color, so it will be ready. When serving, you can sprinkle with powdered sugar.
