Breakfast carrot cake - can be vegan

Name: Breakfast carrot cake - can be vegan
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 250 g ground almonds; 1 tap bicarbonate of soda; 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon; 1/2-1 tsp ground ginger; 1/2 tsp ground cloves; Very generous pinch of salt; 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted; 1 tbsp apple sauce; 1 flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water); Or you can replace either the apple sauce or flax egg with 1 small ripe banana; 1/4 cup maple syrup (less if you’re using a banana or the 2x apple sauce option as both of those are pretty sweet); About 300g of carrots, grated; 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins; 1/2 cup chopped walnuts; Either: mix enough soft goats with yogurt to cover (you can add a sprinkle of lemon juice + vanilla extract to the cheese mix); Or strain some yogurt the night before (so you’re making labneh without the olive oil) and mix with a few drops of vanilla extract and a drizzle of honey/ maple syrup to taste
