Return Us to the Light


 

Flourless Carrot Cake

 


INGREDIENTS
5 eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 cup Sunflower Oil
3 1/2 cups Almond Meal
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ginger
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
400g Carrots, peeled and grated
1 cup shredded Coconut
1/2 cup roasted Slivered Almonds
1/2 cup Sultanas 
Cream Cheese Icing
250g Cream Cheese
1/3 cup Icing Sugar
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice 


To make the cake...
Pre heat oven to 160°C . Line the base and sides of a 24cm spring form baking tin with grease proof paper and set aside. If you line the edges of the tin so the grease proof paper is above the line of the tin this will help prevent the cake from burning.

Place the eggs, sugar and vanilla in an electric mixer and whisk one a high speed for 15 minutes or until pale and tripled in size. Place the rest of the ingredients into a LARGE bowl and stir to combined. Gently fold through the egg mixture and spoon into the prepared tin. 

Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until the skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the cake tin before turning out. Frost with cream cheese icing. 

To make the icing...
Place the cream cheese and sugar in an electric mixer and beat for 5 minutes. Scrap down the edges as needed. Add lemon Juice and beat for a further minute. Spread over cooled cake.

8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.


Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
