Carrot cake with sweet potato and walnuts
En me lançant dans cette recette j’avais comme idée de transformer un peu le carrot cake et de lui apporter de la douceur grâce à la patate douce. Je me suis donc lancer dans du bidouillage de l’art culinaire en mixant plusieurs recette.
Pour cette recette, j’ai longtemps cherché de la patate douce à chair blanche (oui oui on se reconnait toutes et tous là, à chercher un truc pendant des semaines parce qu’il nous le faut absolument !), que je trouve plus sucrée que celle à chair orange mais si vous n’en trouvez pas ça n’est pas grave !
N’ayant pas de noix de pécan sous la main est étant un peu a lot chauvine, I decided to use good Grenoble organic nuts (that I broke with my little arms) And I am not disappointed !
By taking my photos I tasted the first bite and I pushed a hummm… So it was good ! A humid and melting texture, The crisp nuts and to perfect the whole frosting with the cream cheese… perfect !
Yes yes I chat a lot today, Come on I leave you to the recipe !

I like your interpretation which also allowed me to discover that some sweet potatoes had white flesh !
