Notes
Notes: If you want, you can follow this recipe for preparing carrots cakes. But then increase the baking time to around 40 minutes.
If you don’t want the carrot cake bar to get wet, you must avoid using butter. This recipe is based on oil. Also, you can avoid adding extra nuts as it might make the cake bar too soggy and then, you cannot keep it for a long time.
You can enjoy the carrot cake bar with hot coffee or with some other beverage of your choice.
