CARROT RING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 4-cup tube pan or small Bundt pan.
• Put carrots in a small pot and cover with water by at least an inch. Bring to a boil and cook until carrots are tender, 20 to 30 minutes (the thinner the slices the more quickly they cook). Add more water if needed to keep carrots mostly submerged.
• Drain and mash the carrots with a potato masher or fork, then measure out 1 cup of the mash. (Reserve any remaining carrots to eat with a little butter and salt if you like.) Let carrots cool.
• Put baking soda and 1 tablespoon warm water in the bowl of an electric mixer and mix to dissolve. Add shortening or butter and sugar and beat until fluffy. Beat in egg, lemon juice and salt until smooth, then beat in carrots. Finally, beat in flour and baking powder.
• Pour batter into pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm.
