Reading the ingredients listed for this carrot cake would never make you think that it tastes like carrot cake. But let me tell you... it does!
I created this recipe not expecting much, but the result blew me away, so I am really excited to share this recipe with you.
You know I am crazy for chocolate, so even though the little cake balls taste really good on their own, I decided to give them an extra touch and dip them in dark chocolate.
Dipping them in chocolate made them look beautiful, but it took away the taste of the carrot cake a bit. But everything with chocolate tastes amazing so I am sure you'll like it also.
I would love to hear from you if you make this recipe. So please let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
