This carrot and almond cake is probably the one I like the most. At home they think the same and I think they love it for its natural texture and flavor.
I had always resisted doing it because I thought that using vegetables in the cakes would not look good ... Wrong! In fact vegetables add juiciness naturally and cakes are spectacular.
In fact, some friends tried it without knowing what it was from and they told me it was great, they also repeated and when I told them it was from carrots they were amazed. Since then I have been asked several times. It has become one of the favorites.

Hello I love your recipes and I wanted to ask you if you know a cake that I made a long time ago and I have not found the recipe again, the truth is that it was very good and my family liked it a lot, I will tell you some ingredients in case you have made it and You can upload the recipe with whole wheat flour, carrots, brown sugar and raisins (I don't remember any more ingredients) it ended with a chocolate coating, I hope you have it, thank you
I do not have this recipe, but I start looking for it as soon as I can because with only the ingredients you say it has to be delicious. If I find something I'll tell you. All the best.
Great cake !! I would not have imagined that it is carrot. With the rainy afternoon that we have had, my family has come to have a snack at home and the cake has been very successful. It is very fluffy and the flavor is delicious. We will repeat without a doubt ...
Susana, I have also done it several times and we love it. Like the pumpkin, it seems incredible that with vegetables they are so delicious. All the best.
I don't know what to do !!!! Because thanks to you and your advice I don't stop using the Thermo, and for the first time I am amortizing it. I try everything, and especially the sweets ... this cake has been a real success, every Sunday I make one of yours and I never stop surprising the family, THANK YOU a thousand again, and please keep finding time for your fans !!
Thank you very much, Pilar. I'm glad you like our recipes. All the best.
Hello, I am going to make this cake tomorrow and I would like to know how you put the oven so that it looks so good on you. Up and down? Just downstairs? with or without air ?.
Thank you very much for all your recipes. You are wonderful.
Hello Elektra, I put heat up and down and with respect to the air I do not have that option. My oven is very old. I think air will suit you better. I hope you like it. All the best.
What a nutritious breakfast as well as delicious! Congratulations on all the recipes!
Thank you very much, Mila!
Hello Elena, we have tried it at home, it is very tasty, I have two girls at home and the oldest repeated, it is surprising because it has carrots and we are used to basic sweets
It's a very rich cake, Monica. Go ahead and try the pumpkin one, it is also surprising and it is delicious. All the best.
the pumpkin one, it's great
Pilar, I love them both. They're very rich.
Exquisite, please never leave the blog, I only shape the home menu by looking at your recipes. Congratulations
I'm very happy, Encarnación! All the best.
Enlloc d'ametlles s'hi can pose hazelnuts?
Gràcies
Yes, Bety, with hazelnuts it is also very good. All the best.
What does this cake look like, it will be next.
Hope you like it, Elo. You will tell me. All the best.
This recipe would not look good without the almonds, I ask
Hello Marisa, almonds are made from flour and are necessary. I have not tried it, you can try to substitute them for the same amount of flour. I love the way it comes in the recipe. Try it and tell me. All the best.
I did it last night and brought a piece to work this morning. Exit. I didn't have enough almonds and I put half hazelnuts and half almonds. I will repeat.
I'm glad you liked it, Miriam! All the best.
I make this cake often with some variation, I don't use yogurt and I make a lemon icing as a topping. I am not quite enthusiastic about almonds, I do it with the same amount of hazelnuts and it is tremendously juicy, I encourage you to make this Carrot Cake, it is always a success!
Hello Elena, I have decided today to make this recipe but I have a question: does it contain oil?
Greetings Thank you.
Hello Encarni, no, this cake does not have oil. Lucky!
Thanks. The truth is that I did not do it yesterday because it seemed very strange that it did not have oil or butter, but hey, if you tell me that it is so this afternoon I will!
Hello! I love your blog. Are almonds toasted or raw? I think I read once that they were raw. And are hazelnuts toasted too? Thanks
You can put both, whatever you like best, raw or toasted. The original recipe was with toasted recipes, but I make it with raw and it is phenomenal. Same for hazelnuts. As you like it the most! Thank you for following us.
Delicious cake .. Thank you very much
I totally agree with you, Rosa. And also, with some great ingredients, right?
Thank you for your comment and for reminding me of this recipe.
Kisses!

Hello, I loved the recipe, but I have a question, are the almonds with the skin or peeled? thank you very much
Hello Cristina, they are peeled and toasted almonds. You will see how tasty this cake is. Thanks for writing to us. A hug!!
Hello. I would like to know if you do not use yogurt, for what ingredient do you substitute it.
Thank you very much.
Hello M Dolores. If you don't want to use yogurt, try this other recipe better: http://www.thermorecetas.com/bizcocho-de-zanahorias-light/ A hug
Very good! Are carrots raw or cooked? On the other hand, do you think that for this recipe you can take advantage of the crushed almonds that remain from making almond milk?
A thousand thanks 🙂
Beatriz
Hello Beatriz:
Carrots are raw. Peel them, wash them and dry them well.
I sincerely believe that it is a perfect option to take advantage of the almond okara.
I hope the cake is good for you !!
Point 3 is missing. Thank you
Hello Beatriz, it is already arranged. Thanks for advising. It was simply a mistake, no point is missing, the content of the recipe was fine so you can follow it with complete peace of mind. Thank you!! 🙂
