Lady Valentina Carrot Cake

The idea being this cake is wonderful, and the presentation flawless. But unfortunately the cake did not live up to its looks. The icing tasted like pure sugar - there was no citrus tang or creaminess like you would expect from a carrot cake icing (I know it’s vegan, but replicating “cream cheese” frosting is perfectly doable). The batter itself was lovely and moist but also lacking a certain flavour. Considering the R60 per slice fee I was overall quite disappointed. A real shame for a place that usually puts so much effort and time into their food.

Beautiful to look at, big enough portion to share & worth the drive from Cape Town to the Strand! The cardamom was the “cherry on the top”! #supportgreytonfarmanimalsanctuary
