Apple Carrot Maple Cakes with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
Posted on 06. Jan, 2010 by Evil Shenanigans in Recipes
Nothing makes me happier than when I can combine two things I love into one thing I really love!
I love apple cake and I love carrot cake. While looking at some apples in the market I noticed carrots on sale also, and inspiration struck! Why not combine the two? Tart apples, sweet carrots, warm spices, moist cake … how can that be anything but good? To increase the yum factor I added a bit of some fabulous dark maple syrup that was sent to me by a friend in Canada. Honestly, it was crying out to be added to the cake.
The result is a moist and tender cake with a hint of maple flavor. I topped the cakes with a light oating of maple cream cheese frosting for extra tang, and an extra punch of maple goodness. These would make a great breakfast, but are also lovely for snacking and dessert!
