Recipe by Daniele Rossi
The cake with carrots, coconut, and chocolate is a delicious, fragrant dessert that is also very easy to prepare! You won’t need a stand mixer or a hand mixer, just a bowl and a simple hand whisk. The desserts are made with fresh grated carrots mixed directly into the batter, which add moisture and softness, allowing you to reduce the amount of fat without compromising the cake’s structure… in fact, this recipe does not use butter! The coconut, in the form of flour, provides an exotic aroma and a slight chewiness that makes each slice more interesting. The cake is then glazed with an enticing dark chocolate ganache, which gives it a more elegant touch.
Perfect for a special snack, a rich breakfast, or simply to pamper yourself at any time of the day, the cake with carrots, coconut, and chocolate will win you over with its simple soul and unique taste!
