Asalamualaikum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa Barakatuhu
Today, there was a plan to have the book club at someones house. I made some healthy cupcakes for everyone. However, everyone was quite busy. So i had them all to myself!!
Here is the recipe:
Carrot Cake,
2 cups flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup grated carrot
3/4 cup Date Syrup
2/3 cup applesauce or crushed pineapple
1/2 cup canola oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp real vanilla
Optional – 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup walnuts
Mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients in separate bowls and then combine well. Pour into a greased 9-in cake pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out dry.
**Frosting note** – This is delicious of course, with the typical cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk combo.
If you want a healthier option, try this:
-8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
-5 TB Date Syrup
-3 packages of Stevia powder
Mix well in blender and spread on cooled cake.
I got this recipe on a website where they sell date syrup, they had many recipes on the website, which looked sooooooooooooo delicious!!
