  • ½ tsp ground cardamon
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger

Orange & Vanilla Cashew Creme

  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 4 mejdool dates, pitted

Method

Carrot Cake

  1. Blend all of the carrot cake ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
  2. Press into a glad wrap lined 20cm round spring form tin and place in the freezer to set for about 1-2 hours.

Orange & Vanilla Cashew Creme

  1. Blend all of the orange and vanilla cashew creme ingredients in a food processor until very smooth. This will take about 5 minutes. The longer you blend the smoother it gets!


Cake Assemble

  1. Carefully take the cake out of the tin and place it on a serving plate.
  2. Smear the cashew creme over the top and sprinkle with chopped pecans and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. Seriously. So amazing. Enjoy!
