Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams fresh carrots, finely grated
  • 240 ml avocado oil
  • 300 grams all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 200 grams dark brown sugar
  • 100 grams granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 10 grams baking soda
  • 5 grams ground cinnamo
  • 5 grams ground ginger
  • 3 grams sea salt
  • 100 grams toasted pecans, chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat your convection oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease your pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the carrots using a food processor with a fine disk and weigh out exactly 500g.
  3. In a stand mixer, combine avocado oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully emulsified before adding the next.
  5. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger into a separate bowl.
  6. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture manually to avoid overworking the dough.
  7. Gently fold in the grated carrots and chopped pecans.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, checking for an internal temperature of 98°C (208°F).
  9. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure to use finely grated fresh carrots for optimal moisture and texture. Toast pecans before adding them to enhance flavor.
