Phuket Cleanse's raw carrot cake is the perfect healthy treat for an evening with friends, or for those looking to try an English classic with a twist! It gets it’s “raw” name due to the substituted ingredients that don’t need to be baked, giving it a fresher, healthier taste. The mix of raisins, carrots, dates and figs create a fruitful flavour, with the coconut oil and flour giving it a light finish. The velvety cashew filling gives this creative recipe a moist and satisfying taste that will leave you wanting more.
