Rustic Carrot Cake Loaf with Coconut Yogurt Icing

grandmas rustic coconut carrot cake recipe yogurt icing dairy free eggless healthy toasted raisins easy cheap better baking bible blog

Introducing a new twist on grandma’s carrot cake featuring coconut yogurt frosting! How neat is that? Enjoy a delicious and moist combination of carrots, raisins, coconut, yogurt, and a tasty blend of spices – all guilt free! I never attempted to make frosting using yogurt, but after whipping up this creamy coconut dream, I will definitely never go back to sugar-based icings. This is a lot healthier than butter/sugar and it tastes almost exactly like I’m eating cream cheese frosting!

I have to admit I was a little worried about making this cake, but in the end it turned out beautifully. To decorate I used toasted coconut, which really gave it a kick! The next time I make this cake I will try adding some toasted walnut to the batter to give it a little more crunchiness. I also think if I added some pineapple it would turn from rustic to tropical!
