Dates & Carrot Cake

My husband bough a pack of Dried Dates by mistake as he believed they were Prunes. Dates and Prunes are very different, though he didn’t know the difference. Anyway, I needed to use those Dried Dates. I chopped them up and added to Butter Cake. The brilliant idea of mine was adding Carrot as well. The result was a very yummy and moist cake. I could have added Nuts as well.

This coffee cake is moist, perfectly spiced and the perfect indulgent treat. I recommend grating your own carrots instead of buying them pre-grated, as they will be much softer. Recipe adapted from: pinchofyum.com Christina -

Carrot cake was my mother’s favorite cake. I can remember being four years old and peeling carrots and licking the batter off of the spoon. My father always had something to say about the raw eggs, but my mother didn’t care. Haha, I survived!! Anyway, I got this lamb mold and I wanted to try it out, so I made a carrot cake. This will of course work with any pan. Karl -
