Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the dry mixture and mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Carrots

    Fold in the grated carrots until evenly distributed in the batter.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cakes

    Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Whipped Mascarpone Filling Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the Filling

    In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form.

Carrot Yogurt Sorbet Preparation

  1. 9

    Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the carrot juice, Greek yogurt, honey, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.

  2. 10

    Freeze the Sorbet

    Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until fully frozen.

Assembling the Cake

  1. 11

    Layer the Cake

    Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the whipped mascarpone filling over the top.

  2. 12

    Add Second Layer

    Carefully place the second layer on top and spread the remaining mascarpone filling on top.

  3. 13

    Decorate the Cake

    Sprinkle the grated white chocolate over the top of the cake and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
