A Camilla’s carrot cake is a cake made of flour, almonds, sugar, carrots, eggs, oil, vanilla and yeast.
Her name is a tribute to the Duchess Camilla of Cornwall. Soft and melt-in-the-mouth, without butter, with an almond and orange scent without having the taste of carrot, this cake is an original way to eat carrots rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
It is ideal for breakfast and afternoon tea; but also at dinner, covered with a frosting or a ganache.
