Carrot Cake~ spiced carrot cake / pecan caramel / yuzu + lime curd / vanilla italian meringue buttercream
My carrot cake is one of my most requested cakes, and it is very much a traditionally-inspired spiced carrot cake. I use a combination of spices I love from Penzeys: mace, Vietnamese cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger with fresh organic carrots. This cake is made with a whole grain pastry flour milled at Meadowlark Community Mill~ the wheat varietal is a soft winter wheat named Venus and it is grown by Koether Farms. The cake is layered with salted caramel and toasted pecans, with a not-too-sweet vanilla italian-style buttercream with citrus (yuzu and lime) curd.
