It was Lisa's last day recently, as she is going off to study dietetics. I thought that it would be most fitting to make her a "healthy" cake to send her on her way. I chose Teresa Cutter's raw carrot cake, the recipe for which is online here.
For the frosting, I mixed a cup of Greek yoghurt with half a cup of icing sugar, then chilled it before use:
As hoped, this cake was a hit with the recipient - she was stoked with her healthy cake. And although I didn't try it myself, someone told me unsolicited in the lift that they enjoyed the carrot cake. Sweet!

Oh that is so unusual, and a very welcome gift I can tell. It reminds me of making energy bars. But I have never used carrot!!!
well this seems quite unlike so much of your baked goods but always am interested in raw foods (seems even more of a miracle than baked - which is odd now I think of it as baked is surely more of a miracle). I think it sounds a great dish for someone interested in dietetics and probably just what many people (me included) need at this time of year
What a great cake!
How interesting! I must give it a go as the raw cakes that I've tried have been delicious.
I've been meaning to try raw carrot cake! Thanks for the reminder and recipe link too. Your friend must have been thrilled to have you think of her and make something aligned with her tastes.
