Vegetarian Mama's video: Healthy SUPERFOOD Carrot Cake Easter Joy with a Wholesome Recipe

(Türkçe açıklama en alttadır) As Easter approaches, it's time to dive into the delightful tradition of baking a carrot cake. This beloved treat holds a special place in Easter celebrations, symbolizing the renewal of the season and the joy of springtime gatherings. But why exactly do we love carrot cake so much? Carrot cake isn't just a delicious dessert—it's a celebration of flavors and textures that delight the senses. From the earthy sweetness of grated carrots to the warm embrace of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, every bite is a symphony of taste. But what sets this recipe apart are the subtle additions that elevate it to new heights. By incorporating 7 pitted medjool dates and a hint of orange zest into the cream cheese frosting, we infuse the cake with a burst of natural sweetness and citrusy brightness. These additions not only enhance the flavor but also provide a healthier alternative to traditional frosting sweeteners like white sugar. Moreover, the use of almond flour in this recipe offers a plethora of benefits. Almond flour adds a delightful nutty flavor and a tender crumb to the cake while providing a boost of protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients. Plus, almond flour is naturally gluten-free, making it a perfect option for those with dietary restrictions or preferences. Recipe: Now, let's dive into the recipe for this scrumptious carrot cake: Ingredients: 2 cups grated carrots 1 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup almond flour 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 1/2 cup pitted medjool dates 1/4 cup olive oil 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup ground walnuts (optional) Orange zest (optional) Cream Cheese Frosting: 113 grams (4 ounces) softened cream cheese 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Orange zest (optional) Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. In another bowl, blend together the grated carrots, applesauce, pitted medjool dates, olive oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the ground walnuts (if using) and orange zest. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by mixing all the frosting ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Once the cake is cooled completely, frost it with the cream cheese frosting. Garnish with additional orange zest if desired.
