A soft, moist carrot cake that has the benefit of low-sugar and no dairy (when made without icing) . Great for a healthy birthday cake.
I adapted it from a recipe I found online.

What does the angosturas bitters do?

Bitters adds a slightly bitter, spicy flavour. It offsets the carrots along with cinnamon.
