• 2/3 cup of sweet potato puree
• 3 egg whites
• 1 tbsp coconut flour
• 1 tbsp cacao powder
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1 tbsp coconut
• cinnamon to taste
• nutmeg to taste
• 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder
• sprinkle of flax seeds
• 1/4 tsp baking powder

Directions: Mix dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls. Add wet to dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Pour into two ramekin dishes or mugs and cook in microwave for 4 minutes. While cooking, make topping:Icing Ingredients: 

• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 1 tbsp dark chocolate organic peanut butter
• 1 banana mashed
• teaspoon vanilla extract
• spoonful of low fat cottage cheese

Directions: Add ingredients to blender…I usually add liquids first so the peanut butter doesn’t stick to the bottom of the blender. Blend. You can also make the topping without a blender by just whisking the ingredients in a bowl. Once cakes are completed let cool for 2-5 minutes. Place one on a plate, spread some of the icing on the top, add second cake and pour the remaining icing over the cake. Vua-Lah!  Bon Appetito …and remember, if it was easy, everyone would do it.
