Carrot Cake

This is another affective recipe of blog. It brings a story:

Ever since I was a child, my mother prepared a carrot cake with chocolate covering to celebrate my birthday. I always loved. There was a time when her cakes were not going well and she stopped making. After that she returned and until a few years ago she still visited me in my birthday to bring me her lovely cake.

As yesterday was my birthday, I decided to post a recipe of carrot cake for great sentimental value it represents to me. This one I recently adapted to a vegan version and I got quite happy with the result.

I would like to share with you this recipe, which to me is like a kind and welcoming embrace of those I love and makes life much better!
