Preparation
- Prepare the Carrots: Grate the fresh carrots. If a lot of juice comes out, squeeze it out to avoid a soggy crust.
- Prepare the Dates: If the dates are hard and dry, soak them in warm water for a few minutes to soften them. This will make them easier to blend.
- Combine the Crust Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the grated carrots, coconut flakes, dates, walnuts, and cinnamon. Add optional spices like ginger, nutmeg, and ground cloves if desired.
- Knead the mixture with a mixer for a smoother texture, or leave it coarser if you prefer to feel the ingredients when tasting.
- Form the Crust: Divide the mixture into three parts to form the layers of the cake.
- Press one part of the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or a similar mold to form the first layer.
- Prepare the Cream: In a separate bowl, mix the thick yogurt with coconut flour for thickening.
- Add a sweetener to taste. You can use dates or stevia to reduce calories.
- Assemble the Cake: Spread a layer of the yogurt cream over the first carrot layer.
- Add the second layer of the carrot mixture and press it down firmly.
- Repeat with another layer of yogurt cream and the final carrot mixture layer.
- Top with the remaining yogurt cream.
- Adjust Consistency (Optional): If you want drier cake layers, you can add a few tablespoons of coconut flour or more coconut flakes to the batter.
- Chill the Cake: Store the cake in the fridge to set. Do not freeze it, as this can affect the texture.
