Carrot Cake & self-made Müsli!

....for my beloved friends from Germany that will visit me over the weekend! I hope they will like it as much as I do!

For the carrot cake you will need!
2 eggs,
4 carrots,
2dl sugar,
1/2tbsp Vanilla extract,
1tbsp baking powder,
1tbsp baking soda,
2tbsp ground cinamon,
2dl flour
1dl peanut oil or olive-oil as an alternative.
In addition I have added , a cup of chopped almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts and 8 sliced dates.

Start with pre-heating the oven to 175°C. Grate the carrots. Mix vanilla extract, baking soda, ground cinnamon, baking powder and flour. In another container mix eggs and sugar. When the mixture becomes white, add the peanut-oil. Then mix all. When the pastry becomes fairly thick incorporate the carrots. Grease the cake pan. Bake about 35 min. Wait some time before adding the icing sugar on top. For the icing sugar you will need: 200g of Philadelphia, 30 g melted butter, 1dl icing sugar and a table-spoon of lemon juice. Mix all and add to your chilled cake! Finish off with adding some chopped walnuts on top.  Leave the cake in the fridge for a while to cool it down.

Self-made Müsli!

To make your own Müsli is quiet easy and brings you a lot of happiness every morning. You can add any item you want and as much as you want. Here I have used: almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame & coconut fibres, amaranth, dried red & green grapes and oat flakes. All the components I have roasted in a frying pan except the dried grapes and amaranth. Much love!
