Ingredients for 12 servings:

• 200 g flour
• 200 g sugar
• 200 g butter
• 4 eggs
• 3 g carrot(s)
• 1 cup(s) chocolate shavings
• ½ pack of baking powder

• 200 g hazelnuts (ground)
• 1 shot of milk
• 200 g powdered sugar
• 1 tsp rum
• Food coloring, orange

Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Peel and finely grate the carrots. Beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar and butter until fluffy. Mix the flour with the baking powder, sift and stir in. Add the carrots and nuts. (Dilute with milk if necessary, the batter should still be slightly runny). Stir in the chocolate sprinkles or shavings (as desired). Fill small paper baking cups or a muffin tin (greased and dusted with breadcrumbs) about halfway with the batter. Bake at 180°C for about 20 to 30 minutes. For the glaze: Sift the icing sugar and mix with the rum and water until smooth. (You can leave out the rum for a children’s party). Stir in the food coloring according to the instructions. (I mixed red and yellow because I couldn’t get an orange one…) Spread the glaze on slightly warm muffins. Sprinkle with some chocolate shavings if you like.
