I like to rescue the pulp left over from juicing carrots for this cake.
If you don't have a juicer, process your carrots in the TMX on speed 4-5 . Press the pulp through a fine colander, strainer, nutmilk bag or cheese cloth to extract the juice. The pulp shouldn't be too soggy.
I used cashew cream for the frosting, which can be stored for 2-3 days in the fridge or frozen. Place 2 cups soaked and rinsed cashews in the TMX-bowl, cover them with fresh water and a squeeze of lemon. Blend on speed 8-10 smooth
Ingredients:
Cake
200 g Pecans ( soaked in water for 6-12 hours and drained)
150 g Dates (soaked in water for 5-10 min)
600 g dry Carrot Pulp (around 4 cups)
1 Tbl. Vanilla extract
1 Pinch of Salt
1 Tbl. Cinnamon
1 Tsp. Cardamon
2 Tbl. Mesquite flour
1 Tbl. Golden Flaxseed, ground
1 Tsp. Maca
75 g Coconutoil
Frosting
200 g Cashew Cream
180 g Dates
50 g Date soak water
1 Tbl. Vanilla extract
Juice of 1 orange
35 g Coconut flour or flakes
Dried Coconut flakes (for garnish)
Method
- Pulse the dates, pecans and carrot pulp 10 times (set to closed lid function and press turbo)
- Add remaining ingredients for the cake and process and speed 5
- Blend the ingredients for the frosting on speed 5 . If necessary allow to thicken in the refrigeratorSplit cake batter in half into even circles with a springform a cake ring (on waxed paper or platter lined with plastic wrap)
- Spread less than half of the frosting in the middle of the bottom layer and leave a boarder.
- Flip the other layer onto the frosted layer.
- Spread the remaining frosting on top and sides of the cake and garnish with dried coconut flakes.
Chill and set in the refrigerator for an hour or more.

wow, looks amazing!
what is maka?

Looks delicious! Does it just set in the fridge to a firm texture?

Thank you :)
@ Karen: Maca is peruvian ginseng powder. It is a warming superfood, suited for use in cooler weather and colder climates and has many health benefits. I like to flavour the crust with Maca.
@ Jo: You have to press the crust a little bit and the fridge will do the rest.

LOL - funny that this thread was bumped. I ended up cooking the cake about an hour before guests arrived as she hadn't managed to make anything !!!
Then I had to use No-Egg (egg free substitute) for the first time. It all worked, but wish they had given a bit more notice !!
