Cake
⅓ cup honey
¼ cup peanut butter (Make sure to avoid peanut butter with Xylitol)
¼ cup cooking oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup whole wheat or white flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
Frosting
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup peanut butter

Add honey, peanut butter, cooking oil, and vanilla extract into a bowl. Mix well.
Add carrots and mix until blended.
Mix in flour and baking soda. Mix until fully combined.
Spoon batter into cake tins or an 8-9 inch cake pan. Prepare your cake pan with cooking spray, butter, or flour to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
Bake in a preheated oven for about 35-40 min. You’ll know cake is done when you can insert a toothpick and pull it out clean.
Make the frosting. Mix greek yogurt and peanut butter until fully combined. Chill until ready to frost cake!
