Carrot cake gives you a wonderful
way to smuggle veggies into your diet. However it took me a while to find a
perfect recipe for a real carrots-rich cake. I wanted to make an ultra
delicious, yet healthy cake with loads of carrots in it. I also wanted my cake
to be visually appealing – we do eat with our eyes after all! During my
searches I’d bumped into some pathetic recipes calling for 3 medium carrots for
the whole cake! That sounds like a carrot cake joke to me, doesn’t it? Other
recipes were to rich with overwhelming amounts of butter and sugar. I didn’t
want a cake which makes me think I sin when I eat it. Feeling guilt when eating
is not what I particularly like. It takes away a joy of consumption.
Finally, my carrot cake hunt is over. I have an honor to present a wonderfully delicious cake, so good you never would have guessed it’s also quite healthy and definitely not packed with empty calories!
