Broccoli in a cake? Yeppers! Trust me on this one, okay? This cake is very easy to make and it tastes delicious. Let’s hear it from Hungry Little Girl:
As you can see, I like real challenges. And as always I just had to turn these two ingredients into a cake! I have found so much joy in creating cakes out of veggies in the past, so why not doing the same with broccoli?!Since green and orange would turn into a ugly brown, I decided to use pumpkin only for the frosting. The result is amazing! The eartiness from the cake part (broccoli and nuts) combined with the sweetness of the frosting (intense pumpkin pie taste) is incredible. I had to force my husband to have a bite, he was so scared that poor little guy, and then it happened … he ate half the cake at once! Good lord if I had known this before I would have made more!
You guys won’t believe how great this cake is until you try it for yourself. I know the ingredients sound weird but trust me, this cake turns out uh-mazing! I love how moist it is, too!
