Original Recipes #12
May 17, 2009


When I tried Coconut, chocolate and mint cake I found out that adding mint to cake recipes makes them more interesting.

Carote gialleThese are my yellow carrots... ok, I just wanted to show them.


Carrot and Mint CakeWhen I will harvest my yellow carrots, I will cook again this cake. I think it will be of a different colour, because this is made with classic orange carrots.

Carrot and Mint Cake

200g Philadelphia cheese
250g all-purpose flour
5 carrots
3 eggs
130g sugar
