After watching Storm and Jingee's BREAKTHROUGH, my husband is gungho about trying raw.....so I started working on his favorite - Carrot Cake. It's really wet and I am wondering if anyone can help me modify the recepie I made. I am looking through others for inspiration as well.
So this is what I did:
4 cups grated carrots
1 cup dates blended with 4T water
1 cup pureed apples
1 pureed banana
2 cups ground almond
grated cin. and nutmeg
I mixed everything together and put in dehydrator overnight. The edges are fine but the middle is SUPER wet. I have it going again today but I don't want to ruin it completely....we'll probably eat it anyway with some sort of ice-cream....but any thoughts on how I could do better?? I am so excited he is ready for raw foods I don't want to turn him off so soon!!
TIA

So I cut it into squares and dehydrated that way (thanks for the idea!). Now the edges of each peice are good and though the middle is still a bit moist, I don't think it's too bad. Packed some for husband's lunch today so we'll see what he says!!
I do think if I add apples next time I will just add pieces, not puree....good thought. Thanks!
Wow - thanks for all the great ideas!! I can't wait to try it again.!
