From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I must have something in common with the cat that curiosity killed. I found this recipe of the Whole Foods site over a year ago, and while it was not the kind of recipe I'm usually drawn to, it chipped at my curiosity until I could no longer resist the temptation to try it. Having done so, I'd classify this as a snack cake that can double as a coffee cake. It is perfect for a breakfast or brunch when you want to serve something out of the ordinary. It is barely sweet and uses enough carrots to qualify as a vegetable side dish. The cake is moist and dense, but its flavor is completely unlike that of a standard carrot cake. The predominant flavors here are the carrots and vanilla. This is not a cake for the masses, but I suspect it will be enjoyed by folks who like cornbread or plain biscuits for breakfast. It certainly is easy to make and I suspect that a few of you will be curious enough to give it a try. It's a nice cake. Here is how it's made.
