The Camilla…Carrot Cake

A soft-soft cake to enjoy for breakfast or as a snack. To be eaten as a snack or at the end of a meal with a sip of dry white wine.

Don’t be fooled by appearances! A simple and tasty carrot cake.

Naturally moist and soft, a dessert for everyone.

Carrots are a healthy food, in the cake a little gem.

With a variant, instead of almond flour coconut flour is used

And it dresses up exotically!
