So with the usual amount of fuss and panic, the party preparations began. Just as every year the same repetion was followed, drastically searching for a different party provider that can do entertainment, food and fun all for a reasonable price for the amount of 'best' friends on the list this year and take the pressure of us parents. As always the prices were just too much and to meet the ever growing guest list, it was just more straight forward to do it ourselves!! (But 10x as tiring but as i'm a secret control freak its the only way really!)
Ok so the request this year was for another bunny cake and to make it different I decided that this year it shoud be chocolate. Time to fill the chocolate bunny cake with carrots. 'What?' I hear you shriek, 'what kind of idiot puts carrots in chocolate cake?'
Well this one does and so does Harry Eastwood author of Red Velvet Chocolate Heartache.
(as reviewed in my previous blog)
the recipe can be found here Bunny cake recipe.
This recipe didn't rise as well as others I have used in this mould, however, the cake was light moist and tasty, not a hint of a carrot and although not completely fat free because of the chocolate chips is considerably lower in fat. I also like the fact that the recipe can be gluten free, if rice flour and ground almond are used, which is always a useful option to have.
No complaints were received from any of the party guests and I was quietly content knowing they were getting a few additional nutrients along with their chocolate cake.
