Ingredients
Method
Soak the brioche bread in carrot syrup
- Cut the brioche bread into 4 rectangular pieces.
- Use a juicer or blender, extract carrot juice. Note: if you’re using a blender, add some water to the carrots and blend, then put it through a sieve to remove the carrot pulp.
- In a pot on medium heat, add the carrot juice and sugar. Let it slowly cook until it becomes slightly thickened and syrup-like in texture.
- Turn off the heat, add in the brioche pieces and let it soak for 1-2mins. Set aside to cool down.
Make the carrot jeonggwa
- In a pot on medium low heat, add water and sugar. Let it come to a slow simmer.
- Add in the sliced carrots into the syrup, and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add in squeezed orange juice and the orange itself too.
- Simmer the carrots until it has become slightly translucent and chewy (~3mins). Set aside to cool down.
Make the cream base

Fry the ginger

- Add in the ginger strips and let it shallow fry until golden crispy.
Assemble the carrot cake
