A NEW WAY TO BAKE : CARROT CAKE 
 
Carrots were originally used to sweeten cakes when sugar was scarce or expensive from the Middle Ages to World War II rationing era. The modern carrot cake is spiced, usually contains walnuts and has a cream cheese frosting, which lends a luscious tang. Here, the frosting is a cooked base scented with citrus zest, which you cool and whisk with coconut oil and cocoa butter. It has the texture of a very light but not very sweet buttercream.
