Cherish Foods

A carrot cake specialty shop particular about natural ingredients 🥕 They bake fresh every morning using domestic wheat and organic carrots. I visited because they offer gluten-free carrot cake on Saturdays only. A cozy shop apparently run entirely by one person. Not finding gluten-free in the showcase, I asked. They said, "It's still warm, so the cut surface might be a little wavy," indicating it hadn't fully cooled. There were vegan scones, and only these had allergy info displayed. Until now, there have been several shops where, with my dietary restrictions, the only thing I could eat was carrot cake — without being a carrot cake fan, after trying a few, my impression was "carrot cake = something with strong spices and no elasticity" — not really to my liking. But this one was completely different and dispelled that impression ♪ Fluffy, with only slight spice and gentle sweetness — the first one that suited my taste ♡ (lol). On this day they used fermented ginger, with restrained spice. Lucky to hit a recipe day that suited me! Apparently they grate each pesticide-reduced carrot received from the farmer one by one, drawing out the maximum sweetness of the carrot without relying on sugar or dairy. After finishing everything, I realized I'd forgotten to photograph the food, and they kindly put a replacement carrot cake back on the empty plate — so the dirty-looking plate in the image is my fault (lol).
