This easter my family’s table will be filled with all the delicious food again. But I wanted to create a bit healthier recipe with carrots. And this cake turned out to be great 🙂
For 12 pieces; Very simple; 15 min for preparation + 35-40 min for baking
Ingredients
For the cake
200 g carrot; grated
80 g maple syrup
4 oil; I used olive oil
2 tablespoons of peanut butter
1 dl plant based milk
1 teaspoon of apple vinegar
200 g wholewheat flour
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of cloves
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
For the cream
100 g cashews; soaked for about an hour beforehand
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
Instructions
- Start preheating the oven on 180°.
- Oil the baking pan and lightly dust it with flour.
- In one bowl mix carrot, maple syrup, oil, peanut butter, milk and vinegar. In another all the other stuff. Then slowly mix the wet ingredients into dry ones.
- Pour the batter in the baking pan. Bake for around 35-40 minutes.
- While baking prepare the cream. In a smaller food processor blend all the ingredients.
- When the cake is done cool it down and frost with cream.
Wise-ass corner
I sprinkled some chocolate on top of it.
You can use more maple syrup if you like sweeter cakes.
