You may already be familiar with carrot cake, but if not, you've probably thought, "Umm...a carrot cake? Is this a joke??" Nope, it's not a joke - it's actually super delicious!

Finally, something interesting invented by the British! Oh, wait, it turns out it's Swiss... we did think it was strange for the English to know how to cook ;-).

Alright, let's put aside the stereotypes and move on to the recipe :-D!

Steps

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Peel the carrots and grate them.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, spices, and salt.
In another container, mix the applesauce, coconut milk, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and melted coconut oil.
Pour the first mixture over and mix with a whisk, then with a spatula to obtain a smooth, homogeneous batter. Add in the grated carrots.
Pour into two greased pans (about 850g of batter in each) and bake for about 30 minutes each (or alternatively, cook the two cakes one after the other).
For the glaze: mix the coconut milk with the powdered sugar to obtain a thick mixture.
Once the cakes have completely cooled, spread the icing on both of them and then stack them. Decorate with crushed pecan nuts and some lime zest.
