На мой вкус, можно даже чуть уменьшить дозу мёда в рецепте. Но у каждого он свой - вкус!😊
Вывод: очень рекомендую попробовать!💥💥💥
Preheat oven to 350*F
Grease cake pan with butter and line pan with parchment paper to prevent from sticking (you do not have to have a springform pan)
Remove 2 eggs from fridge and allow them to become room temperature BEFORE cracking them.
Soak 1 Tbsp of raisins in hot water for 10 minutes
CAKE
In the meantime…
1.5 Cups Rolled Oats, blended into a fine powder, then transfer to a mixing bowl
Add 1 tsp baking soda and combine thoroughly with fork
2 handfuls of walnuts, chopped fine (I put them into a baggie and pound with a smooth oval rock I’ve had in my kitchen for years)
Add half the chopped walnuts to the blended rolled oats until combined (the other half of the walnuts are to top the cake at the end)
2 Large Carrots, grated on finest grater blade then placed into a separate bowl
1 Large Sweet Apple, (Gala, Fuji, Golden Delicious) peeled, then grated on the finest grater blade (like the carrots) add to the same bowl as the carrots and mix together until combined. To this bowl then add
4.5 Tbsp of Greek Yogurt Or Sour Cream and mix until fully combined with carrot and apple
Into a separate small bowl, crack the two (now room temperature) eggs, add a small pinch of salt and lightly beat with a fork just until yolk and white are combined then add it to the bowl containing the carrot mixture. Once again, stir this mixture to combine all its ingredients together.
To the Carrot mixture add:
Zest of 1 lemon (only the yellow rind—the white under the yellow is bitter)
(Reserve the lemon—we will need 1.5 Tbsp of lemon juice for the cake and 1 tsp lemon juice for the frosting) and
3 Tbsp honey to this carrot mixture and
1 Tbsp of Raisins, chopped (BEFORE chopping, soak raisins in hot water for 10 minutes before chopping—this plumps them up)
1.5 Tbsp light-tasting oil (if using coconut oil, melt first)
Add 1.5 Tbsp of lemon juice to the carrot mixture mix well then transfer carrot mixture into oat flour mixture bowl
Combine together well
CAKE TOPPING
3 Tbsp Rolled oats
1 Tbsp Light-tasting oil (melted coconut oil will work)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp Honey
Combine well
Add this mixture on top of cake before baking
Bake for 50-55 minutes in a preheated 350*F oven
After baking, cool cake for 10 minutes on cooling rack before removing cake from pan
Return cake to cool completely before adding frosting(1-2 hours) so frosting doesn’t melt
FROSTING
In a medium bowl add:
9oz (250g) Cream Cheese OR Ricotta
2 Tbsp (30mL) Greek Yogurt
1 tsp vanilla
Add 1 tsp each lemon juice and honey
With a spatula, mix until smooth and well combined
After cake is completely cooled, top cake with frosting then top with the reserved half of the walnuts (the YouTube recipe called for almonds—I thought it would be nice to carry the walnuts onto the top instead)
Place cake in fridge for 30 minutes to ensure easier slicing.
Enjoy a piece with your cuppa tea or coffee!
I made the cake with the exact measurements.
I used Envy apples.
My only changes were the dairy ingredients for non-dairy substitutes.
OMG So So SO DELICIOUS I had to use a LOT of discipline and self control to not eat the whole thing ! ! ! This will certainly become my Signature desert from now on ! ! !
