Super awesome amazing carrot cake!!

Now this is real fresh carrot cake!
Cake Dough
• 2 1/2 cups ground carrots
• 1 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup soaked dates
• 1 cup soaked raisins
• 1 tsp. freshly diced ginger
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. cardamom
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
To get ground carrots, simply place chopped carrots into a food processor or high speed blender until
these become a finely shredded amount of carrots. You could also use carrot juice pulp, but I recommend you add whole shredded carrots because they add some sweetness that might be lost through
juicing. Place the ground carrots in a mixing bowl.
Grind the walnuts to a fine powder in a high speed blender or food processor. Add to the mixing bowl.
Next, blend the soaked dates and 1/2 the soaked raisins to the blender or food processor, along with
the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. Add this to the mixing bowl, along with the remainder of the soaked raisins. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spatula. Form into a cake shape, and top with icing.
Icing
• 1 cup soaked cashews
• Juice of 1/2 a lemon
• Raw honey or stevia to your desired sweetness
• Nut milk to help blend (almond milk, for example)
Blend until smooth, then frost the cake with icing!

I am so in love.. we have so many carrots, I'm making this tomorrow! Will post pic <3

  1. OMG, that sounds deadly! We eat carrot cake undercover in this house. If my kitty gets a whiff of it, she dives in, whiskers and all! No idea what it is about carrot cake, but she loves it! Weirdo!

    Have a great Sunday! <3. XXX.
