You know when you (WRONGLY) feel bad (WRONGLY) because you had too much (???) cake? (what is too much cake?! There are days when you'll need more and there are days when you'll need less. And YOLO, folks! Just eat that piece of cake!)

Well, this cake is gonna help you with the struggle (but, seriously, EAT THAT CAKE!)

Very little flour, no refined sugar, loads of healthy turmeric and carrots!

In NO TIME!

Let's go!

- 2 cups (200 gr) of almonds flour;

- 1/3 cup (40 gr) of wholemeal flour;

- 1/3 cup (100 gr) of maple syrup;

- 1 big carrot, grated (1 and a half cup - 80/90 gr);

- 1 tbsp of cinnamon;

- 1 tsp each of pumpkin spice and turmeric;

- 2 tbsp of coconut oil, melted


INGREDIENTS for the FROSTING:

- half a cup of coconut cream (120 gr);

- a quarter cup (80 gr) of maple syrup;

- a quarter cup (50 gr) of coconut oil, melted;

- half a tsp of turmeric


+ some butter or oil to butter or oil the tin


// HOW TO:

- switch on the oven at 180C (356F);

- oil (or butter) a 20 cm cake tin;

- mix in a big bowl the almond flour, the wholemeal flour, the cinnamon, the pumpkin spice (or any spice blend for cake) and the turmeric;

- add the grated carrots, the maple syrup, the melted coconut oil and mix by hand or using an hand mixer until well mixed and sticky;

- place the mix in the cake tin and level it well;

- place in the oven for 25 minutes;

- while the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. Using the hand mixer, mix the coconut cream until very creamy and then, BY HAND (do not use the hand mixer or it will curdle), add the maple syrup, the coconut oil (not HOT, leave to cool for few minutes once melted) and the turmeric and mix by hand until well combined and creamy;

- remove the cake from the oven once ready and leave it to cool down for 30/45 minutes;

once cold, pour the frosting on top;

- ready to eat! It will be ok for 3 days!


Buon appetito!
