As a bean to bar chocolate maker who makes my own white chocolate, I love that you toasted it~~it truly transforms the flavor. Looking forward to baking this recipe!

Finally made these (including DIY pumpkin pie spice using Diaspora’s recipe) last night - soo delicious! I’ve been sneaking bites all day 😅

Well shoot, guess I'm buying pumpkin spice. <--- a sentence I never thought I'd type. Haha. I have to agree with you about the mace from Diaspora! I used it alongside the usual suspects in a spiced peach jam and it provides this unnamable warmth and complexity! So happy to have finally tried Diaspora haha. Also needless to say, I'm HERE for this recipe. I love carrot cake and I'm always wishing for more ways to have my fix without having to bake a whole ass carrot cake.

We don’t always need a whole ass cake!! And I think you’re going to love the pumpkin spice

Agreed about summer, although I am in fact based in Greece and summer is all up in my face all the time. Your pistachio/apricot cake was the best thing that happened to me lately. Will be earmarking this one as well.

Oh my gosh to be based in Greece! Though I imagine like New Orleans the heat and tourism start to drag! I hope you like this recipe too 💛

Adding to my to-bake list immediately! I’m curious what effect adding the carrots, pecans, etc has in that particular order?

I want to let the carrots disperse evenly in the batter without overmixing it so I start with those! I don't mind some little clumps of nuts + chocolate but I want the carrot shreds to be evenly spread out. I can't wait to see you bake it!
