Do you look for healthy alternatives when baking treats for your family? Carrot cakes are a delight, so I had to make sure I had the right ingredients to make it a healthy treat. Cinnamon and ginger spiced carrot cake with yogurt frosting to take care of those cravings.
The spices make it even better. The ginger powder adds the much-needed zing to this warm and perfectly moist carrot cake. It is slightly dense, and I love it that way. Grating the carrots need a little effort. Rest everything is easy.
I whisked the sugar and eggs with a handheld whisk. The coconut sugar gives them a dark brown shade which looks fantastic. I hope you do make this during a weekend or the baking season.
