Fun Carrot Cake Story …

Someone brought over dessert lately. One slice of Carrot Cake. Crunchy, sweet and textured cake covered in cream cheese frosting. But this wasn’t any ordinary Carrot Cake. The slice filled an entire 9 x 13 pan and served 8+ people!!

This Carrot Apple Bread with Walnut Streusel recipe below isn’t carrot cake, but close. It will fill your cravings. Plus, it’s loaded with fiber which keeps you feeling full longer and keeps your digestive system moving. Fiber also helps with blood sugar balance and detox. Think more fiber, less carbs.

The cake was delicious. Not even too sweet. So, the next time you are in Baton Rouge, you can get a slice for your family or neighborhood! Send me a picture if you do!
