Spicy Carrot Cake

This is a variation of "Oatmeal cinnamon steamed bread". I made this because I wanted to have a spicy American style carrot cake. (I used the spicy carrot cake recipe in the "VEGE BOOK3" cookbook as inspiration.)
You can use the oatmeal as-is, but please try processing it into a powder. The cake will have a moist, chewy texture.
Prevent condensation from dripping onto the cake when you remove the lid by wrapping the steamer lid with a cloth and securing it with an elastic band. (Be careful not to let the cloth catch fire if you have a gas range!) Recipe by Miyakojika

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pulverize the oatmeal in a food processor or mill into a powder. Combine in a bowl with the soy milk, and let the oatmeal absorb the moisture.
- 2
Process the carrot in a food processor until it is very finely chopped. Roast the walnuts in a toaster oven for 5 minutes, and chop up roughly with a knife. Roughly chop the raisins.
- 3
Add the carrot, walnuts, and raisins to the bowl from Step 1, and mix well.
- 4
Sift in the ★ ingredients, and fold in using a rubber spatula until well incorporated.
- 5
Fill a cake pan (or a plastic container lined with parchment paper) about 80% of the way with the batter.
- 6
Start heating the steamer over high heat. When steam starts to rise, put in the pan from Step 5 and steam over high heat for 25 to 30 minutes. If a bamboo skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean it's done.
- 7
Cut up and serve as-is for breakfast. It is not that sweet.
- 8
Top with "Macrobiotic whipped 'cream'"to serve as dessert.

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.) cookpad.japan -

Carrot Cake Carrot Cake
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 -

I actually made this cake for Valentine's day. I mean Valentine's day is too overfilled with chocolate and heart shapes. Sometimes we just need a simple cake like this. Unlike all the carrot cakes which I'd tasted, there're actually carrots in this cake. Those commercial cakes are usually filled with food coloring and artificial flavorings. To make the cake worse, they used over-sugary cream cheese fillings which kinda make the cakes unbearable to eat, IMHO.As you should have known, I am not a fan of cakes. So, if I have to eat a cake, it has to be my way; dense, moist, fudgy and custardy without over the top sweetness or frosting. Bruno Albouze seems to have what I am looking for. Head over to his YouTube channel for gorgeous desserts, cakes and dishes. Subscribe to his channel too.I decided to decorate my cake with some bits and pieces of honeycomb. There are a few names to call the honeycomb: honeycomb toffee, hokey pokey or cinder toffee. It is like a science experiment when the baking soda is added. I also decided to keep my cake 100% vegan, cos it is one of my goals for 2019; to push out at least 1 vegan recipe a week. In closing, I really hope you will give this recipe a try. I know I am late tho, but this cake will sit well on any dining table without any special occasion. Daniel Lim -

My favorite recipe of carrot cake is the one developed by America’s Test Kitchen. Unlike the usual “dump and stir” method, this version creates a dessert that is layered, moist, tangy, and glamorous. Ricardo -
