Spiced Garden Cake

Spiced Garden Cake

Spiced Vegetable Cake recipe

In the past I have made many cake with veggies; a chocolate zucchini cake, spiced carrot cake, traditional Swedish apple cake, pumpkin and maple cake, pumpkin pie…and the list goes on.

All of these cakes were sooo tasty and are beautifully moist thanks to the vegetables.

I wanted to take baking with veggies to another level, it may sound weird and bland to have a cake based on a selection of common garden vegetables, however the mix of spices, zingy zest and satisfying inclusion of cream make this cake a unique hearty and nourishing treat.

This cake is also a great way to use up left over vegetables and turn them into a scrumptious dessert.
