We are grateful for the opportunity to share food here in the Garden of Eden!
One way we do that is by giving away free food every single day, and we extend the offer to you too because we are here to help one and all: if you or anyone you know wants or needs food, contact us - we will give you free food, no questions asked.
Another way we do that is by preparing daily feasts for our full time volunteers and having communal meals together, which we share every day!
Photographs are another great way to share food across time and space to bring people together, and we also love to share the recipes behind the photos to inspire you to recreate the yumminess in your own kitchen & share with family and friends!
Today, we want to share one of our favorite food formulas for an easy, delicious, nutritious, vegan RAW CARROT CAKE!
Cake Ingredients:
1 cup Shredded carrots
1 cup finely shredded dried coconut
1 cup dried fruit (dates, raisins, or apricots)
1 cup nuts of your choice (walnuts work well)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Optional: ginger- 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated or 1 teaspoon powdered
Frosting Ingredients:
2 cups cashews soaked for 8+ hours & drained, or can substitute cashew or almond butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup agave syrup or honey
Method:
All you need is a food processor and cake pan! It's extremely simple, easy, and fast, and the results are a wonderful, healthy dessert to share with loved ones!
For the cake: Shred the carrots using the food processor shredding blade and set them aside.
Switch to the S blade, and pulse the nuts to your desired consistency. The finer the nuts, the less crunchy the cake will be.
Place dried fruit into the food processor and blend until it is evenly chopped. Break up any chunks into small bits and spread evenly around the food processor.
Add the carrots, coconut, nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger (optional), and blend until evenly mixed.
Place the mixture into a shallow dish like a pie plate or glass baking pan. Press firmly into the dish until it is all smooth and flat. Set aside.
Make the frosting: Blend all the frosting ingredients in the food processor until smooth, creamy, and thick. Adjust the thickness and sweetness by adding a little more water or agave syrup.
Spread the frosting into the cake. Refrigerate for a few hours to help it firm up and stick together well.
Serve and enjoy healthful sweetness!
