This lovely moist coconut carrot cake recipe will brighten your day no matter how the weather is outside.
For us, it was a dark and stormy evening when we started to feel peckish for something sweet. The idea of going out seemed ridiculous 😉 We took a look in the fridge. There were some carrots, some eggs and not much more. So we came up with this E.A.S.Y. recipe.
Thanks to CoccoMio coconut oil the cake was extra soft and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Using coconut oil to bake your cake will make them oh-so soft and is a great way to add healthy fats oh-so needed to keep our body functioning properly.
Enjoy! 😉
