Unexpected Twist: Spiced Carrot Cake with Avocado Frosting

Unconventional Dessert: Spiced Carrot Cake with Avocado Frosting

Today, I’m excited to share a unique dessert recipe that combines unexpected flavors and textures: Spiced Carrot Cake with Avocado Frosting. This dish is perfect for those looking to try something different and surprise their taste buds with a creative twist on a classic treat.

I start by preheating the oven to 350°F (180°C) and greasing a round cake pan with coconut oil. In a large mixing bowl, I combine 200g of grated carrots, 150g of almond flour, 100g of coconut sugar, 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. I mix everything together until well combined, then pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

Next, I bake the cake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. While the cake is baking, I prepare the avocado frosting. In a food processor, I blend together the flesh of 2 ripe avocados, 50g of raw honey, 50g of coconut cream, and the juice of 1 lime until smooth and creamy.

Once the cake has cooled, I spread the avocado frosting on top, creating a thick and luscious layer of green goodness. The combination of the moist and spiced carrot cake with the creamy avocado frosting is truly a match made in dessert heaven.

For a final touch, I sprinkle some chopped pistachios on top of the frosting for added crunch and a pop of color. This unconventional dessert is a refreshing take on the traditional carrot cake, perfect for any occasion where you want to wow your guests with something unexpected.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, yielding 8 servings. Each serving weighs around 100g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per portion.

One clever tip for this recipe is to refrigerate the cake for an hour before serving. Chilling it will help the flavors meld together and create a more cohesive taste experience for your palate.
