Can't believe it's raw carrot cake

Can't believe it's raw carrot cake

Servings: 
Perfect for 2 but could easily serve 4

I was really craving something “bready” and rich. I couldn’t believe how great this turned out. Every bite was amazing with banana ice cream.I don’t have a dehydrator so I put my oven on the warm setting and let it sit in there over night. It was just warm to the touch, not hot at all.Finally, I made it again this week and took a better picture

Ingredients: 

1 cup carrots
2 cup walnuts
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup raisins
1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
1 tablespoon salt
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon ginger spice
1 teaspoon ginger

Preparation: 

Blend carrots in food processor until mixture is pulpy
Remove carrots from processor. Blend walnuts until you get a meal. Add pumpkin pie spice,ginger and a little salt and continue to blend. Add carrots and blend until you have a lumpy cake batter. Remove mixture. Process raisins with water and vanilla. Add raisins to cake batter. Stir together. You should have something that looks like a muffin batter of a dark color.Transfer mixture to a small container and dehydrate for 24 hours.

Hi, I tried your recipe this week and found it too salty. Is it really 1 tablespoon of salt? Or is it just a typo?

This recipe certainly caught my eyes and excited my taste buds. I adore carrot cake but almost every recipe I've found calls for carrot pulp, and of course I am not fortunate enough to have a juicer...yet. Thanks for the idea. I might just have to give this one a try!

you should add "dehydrator" to the needed tools! :)

wow, that sounds so good. I think I'm going to get some Hershey's from the store. Have you heard of the "cacao reserve" brand of Hershey's? I'd like to try it.

This is a really great idea! I made "brownies" at my moms this weekend without a dehydrator and they turned out great. It's similar to yours. It's under brownie emergency. My boyfriend always want me to add walnuts to things so they are a great way to get other people to try raw. You could make the brownie recipe with walnuts instead of pecans. I just used regular hersheys unsweetened cocoa from the grocery store, coconut shavings from grocery, dates, and raisins. It's good for breakfast too!
