Oshawa carrot cake
This recipe is for oshawa cake (or osawa cake). This is a kind of bread or healthy cake, full of grains, nuts and spices. The cake was conceived and named after the founder of the macrobiotic diet, George Oshawa. Amber Albarda made a variation especially for us with rice, quinoa, oats, spelled and carrot. Completely vegan of course, because a vegetable piece of cake is worth its weight in gold! A recipe for osawa cake is very nutritious and not airy, as you are used to from 'normal cake'.SnackCake and pastries8-10 slices1 hour preparation15 minutes soaking
