CLASSIC CARROT CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease 3 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans and line with parchment paper.
• Grate the carrots on the small holes of a box grater. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together 2½ cups (310 G) of flour, the cinnamon, allspice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together.
• In a separate large bowl, beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and eggs together with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until just combined.
• With the mixer running, gradually pour in the vegetable oil.
• With the mixer on medium-low speed, add ⅓ of the flour mixture at a time to the wet ingredients. Beat just to incorporate. Stop mixing when there is just a small amount of flour visible.
• In a small bowl, toss the raisins with the remaining tablespoon of flour.
• Add the raisin, grated carrots, and pineapple to the batter and fold to incorporate with a rubber spatula.
• Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a fork inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean.
• Cool the cakes on a wire rack until the pans are cool to the touch. Remove the cakes from the pans and let cool completely on the rack.
• Make the icing: In a large bowl, beat together the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla with an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed. Once combined, mix on medium-high speed for 30 seconds, until light and fluffy.
• Add the powdered sugar, ½ cup (60 G) at a time, beating on medium-low speed to incorporate each addition.
• Assemble the cake: Check to see if the top of each cake is flat. If not, use a serrated knife level off the cakes.
• Place 1 cake layer on a serving platter or cake stand. Spoon ¼ of the icing on top and spread in an even layer. Add another layer of cake and spread with another ¼ of the icing. Set the last cake layer on top with the bottom up to ensure a very flat surface. Spread the rest of the icing over the top and sides.
• Gently press the walnuts into the icing around the sides of the cake.
• Chill for 30-60 minutes to let the icing set, then slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

CANDIED CARROT ROSE TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Peel the carrots and discard the skins. Using a vegetable peeler, peel long, wide ribbons of carrot until you can no longer make ribbons. Combine the carrot ribbons with the sugar and 1 1/2 cups water in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over high heat, stirring occasionally, then immediately remove the carrots with tongs to a rimmed baking sheet. Spread into a single layer and let cool, pouring any syrup from the bottom of the baking sheet back into the pot. Simmer the syrup until lots of small bubbles form on the surface and it is a bright orange color, about 10 minutes. (You should have 1 cup of syrup left.) Let cool for 5 minutes, then stir in the lemon juice. Remove to a heatproof container and refrigerate until cool, 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine the apricots and raisins in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped, about 10 pulses. Add the nuts and 1/4 teaspoon salt, scrape down the sides and pulse until the nuts are roughly chopped, another 10 pulses. Set aside.
• Brush an 8-inch springform pan with butter and line with 1 sheet phyllo. Tuck any phyllo the hangs over the edge into the edges of the pan. Brush generously with butter and lay the next sheet of phyllo on top going in the other direction. Brush generously with butter and repeat this pattern with the remaining phyllo. Put the nut and fruit mixture into the pan and pack it down firmly so it is evenly spread out.
• Arrange the carrot strips on a work surface next to each other so they are about 1-inch wide. Starting from one end, roll them up loosely. Put them on top of the nuts so you can see the spiral of the carrot. Repeat with the remaining carrots until the top is covered in 30 to 40 carrot flowers.
• Put the pan on a baking sheet and bake until the phyllo is golden, 25 to 30 minutes. While it is still hot, drizzle the cold syrup all over the carrots until the nuts are just covered in syrup. Remove the sides of the pan and let cool until fully cooled and set, about 2 hours, before serving.

RAINBOW ROSE VEGGIE TART

Steps:

• Unfold a puff pastry sheet over a tart pan. Place parchment paper or foil in the center and weight it down with beans or pie weight.
• Bake the tart base in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment paper. Let it cool.
• In a bowl, add the eggs, ricotta, grated parmesan cheese, grated nutmeg and pinch of salt. Add the mozzarella and oregano. Mix everything up until smooth.
• Slice strips of zucchini and carrots length-wise using a potato peeler or a mandolin. Place the slices in a bowl and cook in the microwave for 1 minute. This step will soften the slices and make them much easier to roll.
• Spread the cheese mixture on top of the tart base.
• Take one slice of a vegetable and roll it up very tightly-this will form the core of the rose. Take another slice and keep rolling. With around 2-3 slices you should obtain a decent-size rose bud. Place the bud in the center of the tart, pushing it down into the cheese. Keep rolling roses of different colors and place them one next to the other in a spiral formation.
• Brush olive oil on top of the vegetables and bake the tart at 375 degrees F for 50 minutes.

CHEF JOHN'S POTATO ROSES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with melted butter, reserving the rest for the potatoes.
• Slice potatoes to about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thickness using a mandoline or vegetable slicer. Discard end pieces that are mostly skin. Place slices in a bowl and add rosemary, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Drizzle in the remaining melted butter. Toss with your hands to evenly distribute, about 2 to 3 minutes, trying to separate all the potato slices. Grate about a quarter of the cheese over the potatoes. Toss. Add more cheese; toss again. Continue until all cheese is incorporated.
• Stack potato slices in uneven layers (to resemble flower petals) in prepared muffin tin, ending with some of the smaller pieces.
• Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are tender, 45 to 60 minutes, testing with a metal skewer for doneness. Potatoes should be very soft. If potatoes look too brown but aren't yet cooked through, cover pan with foil for the final minutes of baking.
• Loosen edges of potato roses with a fork and lift out of pan to serving dish.
