Healthy Carrot Cake

There are some healthy and living carrot cake recipes that are so tasty they almost make you laugh with joy when you even think about them.

Today I have such a recipe for you, courtesy of Margaret Rosales, who shared it with me originally many years ago.

Living Carrot Cake with Lemon Cashew Frosting

Carrot Cake
1 cup soaked, raw almonds
1 1/2 cup soaked raisins (save water)
1 cup pitted dates, soaked and drained
6 cups carrot pulp
1-2 teaspoons cinnamon
zest of one lemon and one orange

Lemon Cashew Frosting
2 cups soaked cashews
1 cup soaked raisins
1 cup soaked dates
juice of one lemon

In blender, place almonds, raisins, dates, and raisin water. Mix. Add to a bowl and add pulp, spices, and zest.

For frosting, blend cashews and their water with the dates and their water and lemon juice until smooth.

Line 10-inch pie pan with plastic wrap and press cake mixture into it. Turn out onto plate and remove plastic. Spread frosting over. Do the second layer the same and spread frosting over all.

Delicious!

You're not going to find a healthy carrot cake recipe any better than this one. Try it if you don't believe me.
