This is an attempt at a healthier carrot cake, perfect for your New Years Resolutions! The cake consists of sweet potatoes and bananas instead of sugar, which give a hint of sweetness without being as sweet as granulated sugar. The cake unfortunately still contains a lot of butter, which would be nice to eliminate in a later version!
The sweet potatoes and carrots are fried on a pan in order to remove some of the moist in order to avoid a sticky cake, which never becomes fully baked.
The cake reminds a little of a banana bread or a loaf. It might therefore also be enjoyed in slices with some butter on top.

Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind
me asking what theme you’re using? (and don’t mind if I steal it?
:P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme
slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any
feedback) – it’s still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself during the
coronavirus scare!
Thank you very much for the support and kind words!
The theme is called “Travel Minimalist Blogger” By ThemeEverest, version: 1.0.4
Steal (the theme) away 😛

Hi!
No, my page doesn’t have a contact page 🙂 It hasn’t been necessary so far, as people usually reach me through a comment or Instagram. You are always welcome to contact me on instagram at @sweetchamomilla. I’m all ears
