Carrot cake time, with a coconut and lime spicy twist

SUCH AN URGE TO MAKE VEGETABLES SWEET!

Seriously, half my posts have vegetables made sweet or with sweet things. I am just fascinated about how well it works. Also its a way of eating your veggies and dessert at the same time. That's what I call logic my friend. My next sweet vegetable adventure is with Carrot Cake. A tad boring but i just really wanted to make it. This one is slightly different however and extremely moist and gooey..

Chia spiced coconut and Carrot Cake with lime cream cheese icing

Ingrediants
2 cups of grated carrot
1/2 cup of raisins
1 cup of coconut milk
1/3 cup liquid sweetener (I used agave)
1 cup of white self raising flour
1 cup of wholemeal self raising flour
baking powder
1 lime
6 green cardamon pods
2 tsps of ground cinnamon
2 tsps of ground ginger
1/2 tsp of ground clove
1/2 tsp of ground nutmeg
1/2 a tub of vegan cream cheese
1/2 cup of icing sugar

-First create your spice mix. Split your cardamon pods and add the seeds to a mortar and grind. Transfer to a large mixing bowl with your cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg.
- Add to the same bowl the rest of your dry cake ingredients (flours, baking powder, salt, carrot) and mix together.
- In a jug (this make it easier to add to your dry ingredients later) mix together honey, coconut milk and 1 tbsp of lime juice
- Gradually add  your wet mix to your dry ingredients and fold together
- Transfer to a cake tin and bake at 180 till a tooth pick comes out clean when inserted into the cake.

- When the cake is baked and cool  mix together your cream cheese the zest of the lime, 2 tsp of lime juice and the icing sugar. depending on your brand of cream cheese or desired consistency of icing you may need to add more or less icing sugar. Mine was more like a thick glaze.
- Viola!
