A delicious cake flavored with carob and sweetened with honey! It is a weird taste if you are expecting chocolate - but can be addicting when you get used to it! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
2/3 cup honey |
2 eggs |
1 banana, mashed |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3/4 cup water |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup carob powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon sea salt |
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) |
1/4 cup butter |
1/3 cup honey |
1 cup dry milk powder |
1/4 cup carob powder |
1/4 cup water |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan. Sift together the flour, 1/3 cup carob powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup butter and 2/3 cup of honey until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the banana and vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the 3/4 cup water. Stir in chopped walnuts. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
4. To make the frosting: In a large bowl, cream 1/4 cup butter and 1/3 cup honey until smooth. Blend in the milk powder, carob powder, 1/4 cup water and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until smooth and spread on cooled cake.
