What\u2019s its backstory?&nbsp;<\/h5>\n<p>I wanted to make a cute cake for a friend\u2019s birthday: it had to be good looking, easy to make, unusual and easy to personalize. Its flat shape was ideal to place, on the top, a printed image of his dog.&nbsp; At the party, people were originally suspicious about the cake ingredients, but everybody ended up enjoying it. This cake is grain free and gluten free.<\/p>\n<p>I adapted a recipe I found in \u201cIl Libro d\u2019Oro del Cioccolato\u201d which suggested 300 g of carrots and 150 of sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Note: adding a bit of fresh ginger might be interesting.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h5>Wilma Flinestone\u2019s Chocolate Cake (and\/or the Paleo Cake)<\/h5>\n<p><em>Serves:&nbsp; At least 8 servings<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Ingredients:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Carrots 350 g<\/li>\n<li>Shredded coconut&nbsp; 150 g (+ a small extra to decorate the icing)<\/li>\n<li>Almonds 150 g<\/li>\n<li>Cane sugar 95 g<\/li>\n<li>3 eggs<\/li>\n<li>1 envelope of baking powder (16 g)<\/li>\n<li>For the icing:&nbsp; high quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa) 100 g<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Instructions:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Wash the carrots and grind them.

Bake for 40 minutes and let it cool down. When the cake has reached room temperature, prepare the icing melting the chocolate (bain-marie, or microwave at a very low setting). Sprinkle some coconut flour on the top to decorate.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-458\" src=\"http:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/05\/Carrot-cake-Rossella-Di-Palma-1024x522.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate Paleo Carrot cake\" width=\"604\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/05\/Carrot-cake-Rossella-Di-Palma-1024x522.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/05\/Carrot-cake-Rossella-Di-Palma-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/05\/Carrot-cake-Rossella-Di-Palma-768x392.jpg 768w, https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/05\/Carrot-cake-Rossella-Di-Palma-1536x784.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/05\/Carrot-cake-Rossella-Di-Palma-2048x1045.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/05\/Carrot-cake-Rossella-Di-Palma-31x16.jpg 31w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Source:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Adapted from &#8220;I&nbsp;<span id=\"m_6027818347081519129:1me.4\">grandi<\/span>&nbsp;<span id=\"m_6027818347081519129:1me.5\">libri<\/span>&nbsp;<span id=\"m_6027818347081519129:1me.6\">degli<\/span>&nbsp;<span id=\"m_6027818347081519129:1me.7\">ingredienti<\/span>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;<span id=\"m_6027818347081519129:1me.8\">Cioccolato&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name: Rossella Di Palma Class Year: FF 1999 Country of Residence: Italy Why is this recipe great?
