(Recipe) The Waffle Carrot Cake

Carrot cake is a dessert you likely turned your nose up at while you were a child. But one day you tried a tentative slice and fell full force for its perfect blend of sweet and savoury flavours and soft spongey interior and never looked back.

In Torill’s home, carrot cake has been a favourite for special occasions since her children were young, today they still ask for her carrot cake for all of their birthdays and celebrations. But what’s better than a homespun carrot cake recipe? A Carrot Waffle Cake, with all the amazing taste of a traditional carrot cake (cream cheese included) and the light fluffy texture of Torill’s Table Norwegian waffles.

To make this mouth-watering treat you will mix all your wet ingredients together into a bowl before adding Torill’s Table Original or Gluten-Free Waffle & Pancake Mix. Finally, add the cinnamon, and grated carrots.

What we love about this recipe is how easy it is and how little time it takes to make the batter! The dry ingredients are already perfectly blended for you and all the components can be added to one large bowl. Can we say ‘heck yes’ to fewer dishes?!
