Carrot And Cardamom Shortcake Recipe: How To Prepare Carrot Pudding
Carrot and cardamom shortcake is an authentic Swedish recipe that is popular all over the world. Here is a simple recipe with a detailed step-by-step procedure.
Dating back to the medieval times, carrot and cardamom cake was one of the most popular desserts then. Originally known as carrot pudding, carrot was used as a natural sweetener earlier, making the cake so very healthy.
The cake is kept moist with carrots, and lightly spiced with cardamom and this recipe made by Chef Nidhi is inspired by Nordic desserts. Carrot-laced desserts are a staple in Stockholm - where sweet and savoury work their magic in tandem.
