Raw carrot cake recipe from Cheap Recipe Blog

Before your eyes glaze over and I lose your attention, I just need to say one thing: Don’t let the word raw scare you.

Raw carrot cake simply means that it’s not baked. If you like sneaking a spoonful of dough before you bake cake, cookies, or brownies, I’m pretty sure you’ll like this recipe.

I discovered this recipe on My Darling Lemon Thyme earlier this summer, when I was in the mood for carrot cake but didn’t want to turn the oven on. But rest assured, I will be making this one again even when it’s cold outside.

It’s refreshingly different and totally satisfies my sweet tooth.

And it’s a breeze to make. Just put the ingredients into a food processor, pulse a few times – and voila! Dessert in 5 minutes.
