Carrots..

I had some left over..so I popped em in a cake...

Ingredients:

2 cups spelt flour

2 grated carrots

some chopped apricots

some chopped almonds

8 tbsp soya marg

1/2 cup soya milk

1 cup date syrup

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon

some fresh ginger - cut into tiny squares

pinch of salt

Melt the marg in a pan and stir in the date syrup.

In a seperate bowl mix together spelt flour and spices, then add the marg, carrots, apricots, almonds and fresh ginger, mix together until all combined.

Then I topped the cake with a creamy tofu topping..

The topping didn't come out quite as thick as what i'd hoped, should have probably added some cashews and banana to thicken it up a bit..good idea for another topping though..and it still tasted nice.

I made the topping by blending together silken tofu, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp icing sugar and a vanilla pod..goes really well with the spicy cakeyness.

I enjoyed a slice yesterday eve with a cup of rooibus and vanilla..
