Summer Bliss Pecan Carrot Cake 

7/25/2014 0 Comments
 
Summertime has many blissful moments. The sun on your skin, the gentle warm breeze that kisses your face as it blows by, the birds chirping in the distance, water to retreat to and enjoy, fantastic sunrises and mesmerizing sunsets to name a few. I have one more to add to your list, Summer Bliss Pecan Carrot Cake.
Picture
This is by far one of my best creations and masterpieces. Combining a variety of flavors that make your taste buds dance in delight. With each bite I tried to describe the taste and the words spring and summer come to mind, refreshing, rich, scrumptious, fantastic! My husband even said "I can't believe you made this!" and quite frankly neither could I!
Picture
There are magical moments in the kitchen when the creative force takes over and new creations are born. The best part about this cake is you can eat a piece and not feel terrible about it later, mentally or physically.
Picture
It's made with wholesome ingredients that are vegan, raw, gluten-free, oil-free and kosher. The ingredients come together in an unbelievable manner making a sensational recipe for loved ones, kids, carnivore, herbivores, individuals on a raw or paleo diet or anyone wanting a sensational dessert! This recipe would be great at an event and would be sure to please your friends and family!

This cake lasted the two of us about a week or more in the freezer. It makes such a large amount that you can split a piece and be more than satisfied! So lift up your sleeves, and lets make a beautiful cake!
