Brazilian Carrot Cake

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 9×13 baking dish.

Step 2
Place the carrots, eggs, and oil in a blender or bowl of a food processor. Process until carrots are finely chopped. Pour the carrot mixture into a mixing bowl. Stir in 2 cups sugar until well blended. Stir in the flour and baking powder; mix until well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3
Bake in preheated oven until top springs back when lightly touched, about 40 minutes.

Step 4
Meanwhile, make the icing by placing the butter, 1 cup sugar, instant hot chocolate drink mix, and milk in a pan. While stirring, heat to almost boiling over medium-high heat until mixture thickens. When the cake is done, remove from the oven and immediately spread the icing evenly over the top.
