carrot cake with chocolate icing and nuts

Ingredients: 200 grams of carrots


100 grams of flour 100 grams of rice flour (or potato starch or cornstarch)

50 g hazelnuts 70 g olive oil or sunflower oil (according to your taste )

1 egg 100 grams of sugar or sugar cane
1 teaspoon baking powder

For the frosting:

40 g butter 1 tablespoon cocoa 2 tablespoons milk

100 gr icing sugar

Grate carrots, add oil, egg, sugar, two flour, ground hazelnuts, baking powder and mix well.
Pour into a baking dish lightly buttered and floured and bake until the cake is golden brown. (I've made with the fan oven to 180 degrees and it took about 30 min.)
Meanwhile, it cools, prepare the icing. Melt the butter over low heat, add milk, cocoa and mix well. Remove from heat and add the powdered sugar, with a spatula spread the icing on the cake and let cool again.
