Orange Carrot Zucchini Cake With Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting1

Tags : 

Last night We asked Tony what his preferred cake was and he responded with I don’t know.
Ummmm pardon me? how much beef Liver will you not know what your favorite cake is?
For me cake all hangs in the occasion. For instance, on birthdays I favor a rich, moist chocolate wedding cake strictly for the chocolate buttercream.
For everything else, I choose carrot wedding cake.
Carrot cake is like the Jennifer Aniston of cakes. Under no circumstances gets old. Common and elegant at the same time.
My mom’s been in town over the past week and we’ve been baking up a surprise, including this carrot zucchini wedding cake that we cannot stop eating. It’s has shiny orange flavor for some character and a luscious light cream mozzarella cheese frosting.
There are therefore many reasons to love this cake:
It’s naturally sweetened with maple syrup and fresh orange juice!
Whole wheat grains pastry flour adds a nice nutty flavor to the cake, while still keeping it damp.
You get TWO veggies (carrot + zucchini) in one cake.
Greek yogurt offers both moisture and proteins.
The coconut cream mozzarella cheese frosting would be to die for.
AND IT’S Thus FREAKING MOIST.
This could totally be considered a brunch cake too, or get converted into cupcakes for a party – it’s up to you! I’ve included guidelines in the note portion of the formula. Hope you love it having a big sit down elsewhere this weekend.

In another large bowl combine collectively all wet ingredients: zucchini, carrots, shredded apple, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, coconut oil, orange juice, zest and yogurt.

You can also bake this wedding cake inside a 9×13 inch pan, but remember to reduce the baking time. I’d check around 30 minutes.
Make these into cupcakes by reducing the baking time to 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean!
Ha! Ha! I hardly ever thought to compare and contrast my cakes to Jennifer Aniston.
I’m along with you.I always tend to go for carrot cake as I like all the textural elements which the carrots, pineapple, etc add. And this carrot cake?! What a beauty. I really like that it’s been health-ified using the yogurt and orange juice.which means I could munch away but still feel like I am not completely sabotaging my time spent in the fitness center.
