Hey, there. It's Lacey, with A Sweet Pea Chef, and I have got a good one for you guys today.
I'm going to show you how to make a clean carrot cake that is not only absolutely delicious,
it's also something you would never know is healthy for you. So let's get started.
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and coat a 9 by 13 baking pan with coconut
oil. In a medium mixing bowl, combine one and a half cups whole wheat pastry flour,
two teaspoons baking soda, a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a half teaspoon ground nutmeg, an
eighth a teaspoon ground cloves, a quarter teaspoon ground ginger, and an eighth a teaspoon
kosher salt, and then set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together two large eggs,
a quarter cup melted coconut oil, a teaspoon vanilla extract, two-thirds cup pure maple
syrup, a half-cup plain Greek yogurt, and a third of a cup plain almond milk.
Now, we're going to add those wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir until they're
just incorporated. Now, we need to grate about three medium carrots to make two cups freshly
grated carrots. Now, gently fold in the grated carrots and half a cup of raisins. If you
don't like raisins, you can totally leave them out of this recipe. Pour the mixture
into the prepared baking dish and smooth out evenly. We're going to bake for 20 to 25 minutes,
or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Now, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to come completely to room temperature
before we do the frosting. So in a small mixing bowl, stir together one and a half cups plain
Greek yogurt, two tablespoons pure maple syrup, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Once the
cake has cooled, spread that Greek yogurt frosting evenly over the top. To allow the
frosting to set, place the entire cake into the fridge for about one to two hours before
slicing and serving.
