- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Heat oven to 180c bake.
- In a mixing bowl; Sift flour, noode protein, spices and baking powder. Stir to combine. Add sugar.
- Add carrots to mixing bowl, mix well and be patient; the flour will draw out the moisture in the carrots.
- Add flax eggs (flax seeds soaked in water 1tsp:1tbsp ratio) or regular eggs. Add oil, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, dates and pecans.
- Pour mixture into cake or small baking dish of your choosing. Cook at 180 for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer poke comes out clean.
- Combine icing ingredients in a bowl (ensure coconut oil is liquid) and whisk well. Wait for cake to cool before pointing on icing. Topped with chopped pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup.
