I wanted to make a dessert that felt a little fun, a little fancy, wasn’t too hard to make, and was still a bit nourishing. For this recipe I’ve used whole grains and maple syrup instead of traditional sugar. It tastes great, just like a traditional, moist carrot cake with warm spices, bright carrots, and smooth cream cheese.

Here’s what it should look like for the only kind of “tricky parts” to this:

Remove the foil, roll it, up in a dusted towel, let it rest!

Then when it’s cool you unroll it from the towel (a little cracking and breaking is normal), add the cream cheese filling, and then roll it back up again! You’ll want to wrap it in plastic wrap and chill it before serving.
