Hope you enjoy the video, maybe you can convince Drew to make this for you!
I love you!
By the way peeps, remember how I said make things to taste? After trying this recipe, I would have blended the "cake" part of the mixture in the blender once all mixed since I prefer more of a smooth consistency for a cake. You might like the texture the way the video showed... Either way, this carrot cake was RAWsome! Seriously for those who want a healthy alternative to real carrot cake.
For the Cake
1 cup organic raisins
1 large or 2 medium carrots, finely grated
2 cups of whole walnuts, chopped finely (I used pecans since that's what I had on hand)
1/2 cup of organic shredded coconut
1 tbsp tahini
1/4 cup maple syrup (or less - usually just a splash will do)
1 tsp of vanilla extract
pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves
For the frosting
1 cup of cashews
Juice from 1 lemon
1/8 to 1/4 cup of maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
(Recipe from "Forks Over Knives" book)
Oh so, so , sweet! I want some cake. I think you need your own show, Jamie J. I love you very much and am so glad you have been an inspiration to me! :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I was in Florida so you could have some, but I'm even happier to hear that Drew said he would make one for you! Thanks for being such a great big sister. I love you!
