My parents worked hard from a young age until their last days. Mom wasn't a whiz in the kitchen, but when she took the time, the little or much she prepared was truly amazing. This dessert was made with boxed cake mix and store-bought frosting, adding a few ingredients to make it truly exquisite and delicate. She was so creative in presenting her dishes that almost no one believed she made them with her own hands! I cherish this photo because we made this cake together about 4 years ago, and I'm very comforted to share the recipe with you.

Steps

120 minutes

1

FOR THE DECORATIONS: Lightly beat the egg white with a fork, gradually adding powdered sugar until a manageable consistency is reached. Divide and add the necessary colors. Shape the decorations and let them dry on wax paper or a ceramic plate for a few hours.
2

FOR THE CAKE: Sift the flour, add the eggs, water, and evaporated milk (you can also use the remaining egg yolk from the decorations). Beat well until there are no lumps. Set aside.
3

Mix the carrots, raisins, coconut, and walnuts. Sprinkle with the tablespoon of flour and gently fold into the batter.
4

Using a grater, grate the chocolate over the batter and lightly mix it in.
5

Pour into a greased and floured pan. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 50 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test. Remove from the oven, unmold, and let cool on a rack. Once completely cool, place on a platter and decorate with the frosting.
6

FOR THE FROSTING: Combine the ingredients at room temperature and beat at high speed for 3 to 5 minutes until fluffy and firm.
7

Decorate as desired using spatulas and/or piping bags. Arrange the decorations nicely.
