Torta integrale di carote e noci 
Whole Wheat Carrot and Walnut Cake
Who said you can't prepare a different and lighter dessert for the holiday season? This cake is suitable for any time of the year. The uniqueness of this cake lies in the use of whole wheat flour, carrots, and a truly enveloping honey, ailanto honey, produced by my boyfriend, a beekeeper for about 3 and a half years.
Ailanto is a type of plant that blooms right after the acacia. Its essence is often found in summer wildflower honey. It is originally from China but is now present in much of Italy.
Ailanto honey is part of the family of rare and precious honeys, with a light amber color and a very sweet taste. It has anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, and antioxidant properties. Perfect for making any dessert. Also delicious on cheeses like pecorino and truffle or pistachio cheeses. A must-try!!! 😍

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the ingredients for the cake.
- 2
Clean the carrots, rinse them under running water, and grate them finely. Squeeze them with your hands to remove excess water. The carrots should be very dry.
- 3
Toast the walnuts in the oven at 375°F for about 10 minutes to enhance their flavor, then chop them coarsely. Set aside to cool.
- 4
In a large bowl, pour the whole wheat flour, add the sifted potato starch and baking powder.
- 5
Add the coarsely chopped walnuts, sunflower oil, and ailanto honey. Finally, add the grated and well-dried carrots, and mix everything well. Add a bit of low-fat milk to the mixture to make it more homogeneous and creamy.
- 6
Butter an 18 cm (7-inch) diameter pan and line it with parchment paper, pour the mixture inside, and level it well.
- 7
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 30 minutes. After the baking time, do the toothpick test, and if the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool.
- 8
Transfer the cake to a serving plate, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
Store the cake under a cake dome.
You can replace the walnuts with hazelnuts or almonds.

Carrot Cake Using A Whole Carrot Carrot Cake Using A Whole Carrot
I arranged the carrot cake recipe from "Baking Class," a book published by Shufu to Seikatsu-sha.This cake has lots of carrot and a small amount of oil; perfect for my daughter!The carrot should be 150-160 g after you remove the stem and peel. It is no problem if the amount is slightly more or less.I was interested in grapeseed oil. It has zero cholesterol, so it's healthy! I recommend it! For 10 small molds. Recipe by Chipetan

Carrot Cake Carrot Cake
When I was living in England, I received this spiced carrot cake numerous times during the Christmas season. I got a friend to teach me the recipe. The original version was sweeter, but I took the liberty of reducing the sugar and oil, but for the most-part the steps and ingredients are true to the original.Generally speaking, if you use margarine rather than butter, there is no need to add salt.In Step 1 when sifting the dry ingredients, exclude the almond powder.In Step 6, the longer the batter rests, the richer and tastier it becomes. It's okay to let it rest for 2 or 3 days. Recipe by tora-mame. (One 18 cm diameter cake.) -

Like most women, I love all that is sweet but I sometimes feel quite guilty when eating large quantities. It's like I can't have just one piece and I believe many of you feel the same way I do. In this recipe I used a very small amount of oil and less sugar than in the original one so feel free to have not one, not two, but as many pieces of this cake as you like! Also, it's a very quick and tasty desert you can make when you don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen so when you're in a hurry and you're craving something sweet, this is the recipe for you. Have fun making it! I’d love to see all your beautiful photos, so feel free to post them and don’t forget to leave a comment!
