Hush the non-believers


No, this isn't a post about Charlie (but if you didn't see him two years ago watch here). This is a post about a cake. More specifically, a cake made out of vegetables. I found this recipe over the summer, and it's made with beets, zucchini, carrots, walnuts and raisins. The frosting is goat cheese, cream cheese and maple syrup. Now, as someone who likes to eat a LOT of whatever it is I'm making, this cake seemed perfect for its low sugar and high veggie content. However, I couldn't make this cake for anyone other than myself in good conscience, because not many are interested in a cake made out of vegetables. So, last weekend, it was finally my birthday, which meant cake of my choosing, and of course, I chose vegetables. Everyone had reservations (including my mom who made it), but...it was so good!! Everyone loved it, including those who aren't of the vegetable cake eating variety. There were barely leftovers and I will totally make it for birthdays to come.
