This carrot cake recipe is both delicious and relatively nutritious, so when a special occasion comes around, this is what I make. This recipe is also relatively easy, anyone can make it successfully, even complete beginners. I used heart healthy extra virgin olive oil instead of regular refined oil, swapped regular white sugar for coconut sugar, added more carrots, and used some wholewheat four and walnuts for more fibre and nutrients. Try it and you'll fall in love as well, I promise!
Ingredients for the carrot cake base:
♥ 200g white flour
♥ 100g wholewheat flour
♥ 2 tsp cinnamon
♥ 1 tsp baking powder
♥ 1/2 tsp baking soda
♥ coconut sugar
♥ 4 eggs
♥ 1 cup mild extra virgin olive oil
♥ zest of one lemon and one orange
♥ 250g carrots
♥ 150g walnuts (optional, but highly recommended)
♥ 227g can of pineapple slices in their juice
Bake at 150 degrees C (300 degrees F) for 1 hour 20 minutes.
Ingredients for the cream cheese frosting:
♥ 125g unsalted butter
♥ 40g coconut sugar
♥ 250 cream cheese
The recipe is adapted from BBC's Good Food.
If you make it, I'd love to see a photo of your masterpiece. You can send it to me on Instagram or Facebook (both @vitalivesfree). Thank you for watching, and happy baking!
