Carrot cake (Mini chopper)

Actually, I really want to make the carrot cake in this way a long time ago. 

Because every time that I make the carrot and I have to grate the carrot I always think that it would be easier if we put all the ingredients into the blender ^^.

And today I do it!

So, I don't have to tell you how easy it is. 

Not only the cake batter but the frosting is also made in the mini chopper. I think that it's easier and the texture of the frosting is very good too.

I use a small pan for this recipe (as I told you that I rarely make a large cake by now), but the recipe is can be doubled or tripled without any problems.
