Carrot Cake

Hello everybody, it's Brad, welcome to our recipe site. Today, I will show you a way to prepare a distinctive dish, Carrot Cake. It is one of my favorites. This time, I am going to make it a bit tasty. This will be really delicious.

Carrot Cake is one of the most popular of recent trending foods on earth. It's easy, it is fast, it tastes delicious. It is appreciated by millions every day. They are nice and they look wonderful. Carrot Cake is something which I have loved my entire life.

Many things affect the quality of taste from Carrot Cake, starting from the type of ingredients, then the selection of fresh ingredients, the ability to cut dishes to how to make and serve them. Don't worry if you want to prepare Carrot Cake delicious at home, because if you already know the trick then this dish can be used as an extraordinary special treat.

To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have Carrot Cake using 24 ingredients and 13 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

I actually made this cake for Valentine's day. I mean Valentine's day is too overfilled with chocolate and heart shapes. Sometimes we just need a simple cake like this. Unlike all the carrot cakes which I'd tasted, there're actually carrots in this cake. Those commercial cakes are usually filled with food coloring and artificial flavorings. To make the cake worse, they used over-sugary cream cheese fillings which kinda make the cakes unbearable to eat, IMHO.

As you should have known, I am not a fan of cakes. So, if I have to eat a cake, it has to be my way; dense, moist, fudgy and custardy without over the top sweetness or frosting. Bruno Albouze seems to have what I am looking for. Head over to his YouTube channel for gorgeous desserts, cakes and dishes. Subscribe to his channel too.

I decided to decorate my cake with some bits and pieces of honeycomb. There are a few names to call the honeycomb: honeycomb toffee, hokey pokey or cinder toffee. It is like a science experiment when the baking soda is added. I also decided to keep my cake 100% vegan, cos it is one of my goals for 2019; to push out at least 1 vegan recipe a week. In closing, I really hope you will give this recipe a try. I know I am late tho, but this cake will sit well on any dining table without any special occasion.
