Ingredients:?1/2 cup carrot pulp (ours was a mixture of about 3 carrots and one apple)?1 1/2 cups coconut flakes?1/4 cup +1 tbsp date paste ( can use agave or maple syrup if you do have dates)?1/4 cup raisins?2 tsp coconut sugar or maple sugar (not raw but adds great flavor and texture)?1 tbsp mesquite (optional)?2 tbsp vanilla?2 tsp cinnamon?1/4 tsp ginger?1/4 tsp nutmegFrosting: we used coconut butter whipped with some stevia, vanilla, and a little agave. But you can use any frosting you prefer! Also we did not add nuts but you could always throw in some chopped walnuts.Directions:Take your carrot pulp and remaining ingredients into place into food processor and pulse a few times to get all ingredients well combined! You may use your hands to combine ingredients if you do not have a food processor And form cake dough into muffin liners or cake pan. We did ours individual ramekins (made 3). And dehydrate for a few hours, maybe 4-5 hours.Remove from pan/liners and let dehydrate for another 4 hours or so. You want the cake to feel dry but not over dry, have a little bit of moistness to it Once it comes out just top with frosting and devour. Nothing beats eating a carrot cake that is truly full of fiber, healthy fats, and lots of flavor and texture We are hooked!We were a little nervous about this recipe because the first one we made we put way to much carrot pulp in and not enough other flavors because all we tasted was carrots! Don?t get me wrong we love carrots though it was a bit too much Another great thing about this recipe is that it is pretty easy to make but it is always RAW (semi raw), gluten free, vegan, soy free, casein free and nut free!!!The frosting does complete the whole cake! Who doesn?t love some good coconut butter as frosting!!!!!We hope you enjoy this carrot cake recipe as much as we do Now go make some fresh carrot apple juice and make some of this carrot cake!
