Easter is almost here so let’s make some carrot cake!!!🥕🐣 My version is not too sweet and I did not include raisins because I’m not fond of them.
My all time favorite cake is carrot cake. Another good reason to live it is that it’s made of carrots?!
Flour. I use all purpose flour and spelt is a good replacement.
Cane sugar. I always use organic cane sugar but coconut sugar may work.
Plant milk. Unsweetened coconut and oat milk are my favorites.
Olive oil. Extra virgin gives it a good flavor.
