In Bezzia we love having a sweet bite with which accompany coffee in the afternoon. And now that we have time to prepare them, we don’t miss the opportunity to do it. This past week we prepared this carrot and oatmeal cake to which the photos don’t do justice.
This, like other sponge cakes we have recently prepared, is a healthy sponge cake. We have used dates to sweeten it, although it also carries a small amount of honey, smaller than that of the original recipe. The main ingredients, however, with carrots and oats.
Preparing this sponge cake does not imply any complications. It is one of those biscuits whose dough is prepared by whipping all the ingredients and for which you will only need a grater and a mixer. Looks easy, doesn’t it? And it is. Dare to prepare it!
