Ingredients

Carrot Pudding

½ cup butter, softened
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1¼ cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
2½ cups coarsely grated carrots (5-6 carrots)

Brown Sugar Drizzle

1 cup packed brown sugar
1½ tbsp cornstarch
¼ tsp kosher salt
1 cup water
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1) For the carrot pudding, preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 8-inch round or square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

2) In an electric mixer, cream butter with brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg, orange juice and vanilla. Combine until well mixed.

3) In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together. Add flour mixture and grated carrots to butter-sugar mixture. Mix just until flour disappears making sure not to overmix the batter. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Bake 32-35 minutes or until golden around the edges.

4) For the brown sugar sauce, in a medium saucepan, whisk brown sugar, cornstarch and salt. Whisk in water and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to medium, whisking constantly until sauce is smooth and has thickened slightly, 4-6 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in butter and vanilla. Serve drizzled over pieces of carrot pudding.

Serves 6-8
