Raw Carrot Cake
Carrots are my favourite. It's a perfect snack, great for juicing and for making delicious desserts, of course.
I'm excited to share this carrot cake with you as it's completely raw, you'll make it just in a few minutes and can even freeze it.
Sweetness of carrots matches coconut and nuts so well and a kick from ginger brings this dessert to another level.
A great treat to make even for last minute visitors.
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots to make 2 cups of chopped
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup dates (about 16 whole)
- 0.25 cup desiccated coconut
- 2 – 3 cm ginger
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Process 4 carrots in a food processor and set aside. Then process the remaining carrot and apple until they become small pieces but not a sauce. Put all into a bowl and mix well.
Process ginger, dates, cinnamon and vanilla flavour with almond milk until almost smooth and add to the carrot/apple mixture.
In a bowl mix all together, add oats, chopped nuts and coconut and mix well with your hands.
At last take a glass form ( I used 25 cm x 15 cm) and press the mixture tightly to the bottom. Put the cake for about 1 hour to the fridge (30 min in a freezer) and enjoy. It keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days.
