Carrot Chocolate Sunflower Seed Cake Recipe

Carrot Chocolate Sunflower Seed Cake   

Carrots, chocolate and sunflower seeds are good for you. So are yogurt and eggs. And as a bonus, this cake is really delicious too. Rich and moist. 

The recipe is quite forgiving. If you use more or less oil or yogurt, the difference will hardly be noticeable.

2.      In a large bowl, beat sugar, oil, yogurt and eggs until well blended, then add carrots and mix well

3.      In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, sunflower seeds, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into carrot mixture until blended.
