Delicious Raw Carrot Cake

I’ve going to try my hand at making a raw carrot cake for the past year or so. Is this called procrastination … ? Be that as it may, I finally decided to do it, so I searched for various recipes and then as usual, I end up slightly tweaking them by adjusting ingredients. This was my first attempt, and yes, it is delicious and one I’ll make again.

3. Add melted coconut oil and mix well.
4. Line a loaf pan or glass pan with parchment paper vertical and horizontal so you can pull up the cake easily once set.

9. Place the cake back in the freezer, for 4 hours minimum (overnight is fine).
