Description

This delicious carrot soufflé made with puréed carrots, sugar, and eggs may remind you of a sweet potato casserole in both texture and taste.

Ingredients

1 3/4 pounds carrots, peeled and chopped
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup margarine, softened
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add carrots and cook until very tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
3 Use an electric mixer to beat warm carrots with sugar, baking powder, and vanilla extract until smooth. Mix in flour, eggs, and margarine. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 1 hour. Sprinkle lightly with confectioners’ sugar before serving.
