After making Okonmiyaki last week I had quite a bit of carob syrup left over and was looking for something to do with it. In the back of my mind I was also looking for some ideas for festive Christmas fare, so when I came across this recipe from Fast Ed for Carob Syrup Cake I thought it would make the prefect Failsafe / Low Chemical Christmas dessert or cake. I picked up a couple of Christmas decorations from Riot Art and Craft for $2 each, and ta da! The cake itself is deliciously moist and sooo yummy, and a nice contrast of flavours with the carob syrup. I sweetened my syrup a bit for this recipe, but that depends on how you find the taste of carob.
Of course you don’t need to have this cake for Christmas, it would be great for any special occassion, or just because. It’s large and makes about 20 slices.
