Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 4-cup tube pan or small Bundt pan.
- Step 2
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.
- Step 3
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.
- Step 4
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.
- Step 5
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.

This was a fabulous addition to our Shabbos table. I subbed 3/4 cup canola oil for the shortening for health purposes. Came out just fine, texture-wise.
This was a thanksgiving recipe handed down to my sister and me from my mother who always claimed it came from a magazine. We have since passed the recipe down to our children. I have never ever seen it published anywhere before now! My niece and I were so happy to see it get the attention it deserves - we agreed that carrot ring was a better name than the one my mom used - carrot mold!
Passover Carrot Ring:1/4c butter or margarine;1/2c matzo meal;3T potato starch;1/2c Passover wine;1 lb carrots, grated;1/2c raisins;1/2c sugar;1t cinnamon;1t ginger;juice & grated peel (no pith) of 1 lemon;1 egg;1/2t salt. Cream butter w/matzo meal. Dissolve potato starch in wine & add to butter. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well. Bake in well-greased ring mold at 350 for 1 hr. From a newspaper decades ago. I make it every year b/c it's delicious.
This is DELICIOUS but requires a little futzing. I added fresh orange zest, vanilla, and cinnamon to mine and it was glorious. I also mistakenly used baking soda instead of powder at first 🫠After realizing why I had done, I added in baking powder too. I was so nervous that it was going to ruin the dish, but OMG it was perfect. Next time I make it, I’m going to purposely add both!
Mine didn’t work. Came out about two inches high. What did I do wrong?
I love butter, but 1 cup or 2 sticks of butter seems like too much for this recipe. Other recipes online for carrot ring use only about 1/2 cup or 1 stick of butter.
