Ingredients
1 organic egg
1/4 cup freshly pressed peanut butter (unsalted)
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
1/3 cup organic honey
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup white flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9 inch round cake pan.
3. Mix flour and baking soda, keep aside.
4. In a large bowl, beat the egg, and then add the peanut butter, melted butter (make sure is at room temperature) and honey. Mix well.
5. Stir in the carrots and mix thoroughly.
6. Sift the flour and baking soda mixture slowly into the cake mixture and fold.
7. Spoon the cake batter into prepared pan.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. Test the center of the cake by inserting a toothpick, if it comes out clear, the cake is done.
9. Let the cake cool in pan for 10 minutes; then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Icing
Whip up Low Fat Cream Cheese. I used 3-4 packs of cream cheese to cover the entire cake and make the decorations. Make sure the cake is at room temperature before icing. After icing, keep the cake refrigerated.

 

Variations

• For larger cake molds, like the bone shaped cake, you can double the ingredients.

• Create a layered cake by baking two cakes and layering peanut butter in between.

• Add organic unsweetened apple sauce to the cake batter. I am still experimenting on the proportions, stay tuned for my final analysis!

 

Warnings
May cause loss of appetite of daily routine dinner.
May cause eyes to get larger and droopier, which may result in “The Puppy Face”.
