If you have about 45 minutes to spend in the kitchen, Carrot Cake I might be an amazing lacto ovo vegetarian recipe to try. This recipe covers 13% of your daily requirements of vitamins and minerals. This recipe makes 10 servings with 474 calories, 6g of protein, and 11g of fat each. It can be enjoyed any time, but it is especially good for Easter. It works well as a dessert. If you have corn syrup, vegetable oil, ground cinnamon, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it.

Add the carrots and raisins.
Pour egg mixture into dry ingredients, and mix well.
Pour batter into well greased 10 inch tube or bundt pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 60 to 70 minutes. Cool cake on wire rack, and then refrigerate until completely cooled.
To make Cream Cheese Glaze: Blend together confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, corn syrup, and vanilla.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti
Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti are my top picks for Carrot Cake. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.
NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
