PALEO RAW CARROT CAKE {GF, PALEO, LOW CAL, VEGAN}
If there’s one thing that will bring me to my knees (other than chocolate of course), it’s carrot cake. In fact, if a guy wants to win me over on a date then all he needs to do is bring me carrot cake. I would take carrot cake any day over chocolate. Okay, so maybe not any day. I would still gladly accept chocolate anytime.
But there’s just something about carrot cake.
Maybe it’s the carrots. Maybe it’s the coconut. Maybe it’s the sweet cinnamon-y bread. Or maybe it’s that sweet, sweet vanilla icing. Whatever it is, carrot cake is what my dreams are made of.
Paleo Raw Carrot Cake is a spin on a traditional favorite! Made with a carrot, date and walnut base, this delicious cake is topped with a silky cashew maple coconut icing that's surprisingly healthy and good for you. This is what carrot cake dreams are made of!
The thing about carrot cake is that it’s a lot harder to make healthy than you think. I should know. I’m pretty sure I’ve made at least 50 different versions of carrot cake for months and have never been able to get it just the way I wanted. Don’t get me wrong.
They were all good, but none of the versions turned out the way I imagined in my head. You know when you have something in your mind a certain way and everything else is just well, okay? Because not only am I a perfectionist, but I also have to get whatever it is just right before it meets my expectations.
Finally I gave up on making a “cake” and thought what if I just made the base out of walnuts and dates? Enter Raw Carrot Cake.
