Mini Olive Oil Carrot Cakes with the Creamiest Cream Cheese Frosting

Aren’t these mini carrot cakes the cutest?! These mini carrot cakes are incredibly moist and super soft thanks to the olive oil and buttermilk I used in this recipe. You can use coconut milk for a dairy-free version. They are warm and spiced with a good amount of cinnamon and ginger and a touch of cardamom and all-spice. It has a ton of carrots and some chopped pistachios for extra crunch. Trust me the flavor will burst in your mouth after every bite!

I love baking carrot cakes. They’re Mariana’s favorite and it was the first kind of cake she ever had.

Roasted Baby Potatoes with Toasted Pistachios Romesco Sauce

Romesco sauce is a raw sauce traditional from Catalonia, Spain, and uses roasted red bell peppers, tomatoes, almonds, sometimes breadcrumbs, some spice elements and some acidic elements as its base. You can imagine how many versions of Romesco are out there, even in Spain. So I can say that if you have these elements and eat the sauce raw, you may call it a Romesco or Romesco inspired sauce. This raw sauce is super flavorful and goes wonderful with grilled or broiled fish or veggies. And my version has a few tweaks from the original ingredients for an updated but still delicious take on the wonderful Romesco sauce.
