Am right back at my favourite cafe for a homely affair of cake and coffee .

The carrot cake is extra moist and filled with chunky walnuts and a good hint of cinnamon.
I liked how light the cake is and that it wasn’t too sweet and it didn’t have that cloying feel of butter too which some bakeries tend to use for their carrot cakes which really destroys the whole healthy feel of a carrot cake .

Coming from someone who loves baking and loves cakes - butter is a no no for carrot cakes .
Just any vegetable or light testing oil works best and I believe this was what cafe beviamo used .

The frosting was just nice and I liked how that it was not sandwiched in between the cake like some carrot cakes. The frosting is on the top of the cake and you can easily scrap it off without wasting too much cake if you are not a fan of frosted cakes .

My all time favourite :)

Do give a try to their sticky date cake which come with a generous wallop of ice cream .

Not sure why the cafe took the listing of desserts off the menu and it seems like a “ secret “ for regulars and old timers to know that the sticky date cake exists because it is not displayed on the cake shelf .

Very weird marketing strategy - nevertheless - reminding myself to just eat cake and don’t complain 🙈!
