Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. Blend the chopped carrots until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs, oil, and sugar, blending until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually add to carrot mixture, blending until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. In a saucepan, combine condensed milk and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring until the chocolate melts. Gradually add milk for consistency.
  6. Once cooled, pour the chocolate glaze over the cake and spread evenly. Allow it to set for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
