Carrot Apricot Tofu Cake
Carrot Apricot Tofu Cake with a 'Cream Cheeze Frosting' topped with rich black tahini, frozen blueberries, frozen raspberries, hemp hearts and shredded coconut.
It's my first time baking a carrot cake of some sort! It turned out not bad ☺ Moist, slightly fluffy. Perhaps it could use a pinch of salt. This is based on my usual tofu cake recipe.

'Cream Cheeze Frosting'
Just enough for this cake

- Add water if you find it too thick.
- Enjoy! ☺
