Cavegirl kitchen – Carrot cake
I bake a lot, and love playing around with cake recipes to make them a little bit better for you nutritionally. This recipe for carrot and mascarpone cake is one of the best I have baked, (even if I do say so myself)!
4 tbsp honey
125 ml flaxseed oil
60g full fat greek yoghurt
3 eggs
Juice of 1 large orange
225g ground almonds
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ginger
3 medium carrots grated
100g chopped walnuts
Whisk the honey, oil, eggs and orange juice together until smooth, stir in the remaining ingredients
until combined. Spoon mixture into a cake and cook on 190 until cooked through, probably around
30 minutes.
For topping
150g mascarpone
30g butter, softened to room temperature
Juice of half an orange
1 tsp vanilla essence
Mix the ingredients until smooth and combined. Do not let the mixture become too runny
Enjoy
