Double chocolate mocha carrot cake.

We were at our friends for dinner last night and she served this cake for dessert, oh my goodness it was amazing! The recipe is from the Food & Wine magazine that you get free from the LCBO. Apparently they have 5 different versions of carrot cake to make, and if they are anything like this one, you will be eating lots of carrot cake!

So the basis of the cake is similar to a regular carrot cake, though there are no walnuts or other fruit that may go into it, just 6 cups of grated carrot! To get the 'double chocolate' aspect of it she used both cocoa powder and melted chocolate mixed with milk. So decadent and moist. The icing is a butter icing that has coffee in it. Can you imagine that, moist chocolate cake, coffee icing, need I say any more?! I totally forgot to take my camera round so I will have to add some photos in a while when she emails them over. But for now, picture it, or even better, go get the magazine and make it!
