Carrot Cake.

cake:
1 cup rolled oats processed in the food processor.
1/2 c almond flour (didn't measure almonds before food processing).
6 carrots (they were yellow, not orange, so this cake looks funny) put in the food processor because the shredding blade didn't work, so they were kind of pureed.  but raw.
1/2 c almond milk and 1/2 c water (would've used all almond milk but i was running low)
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 c sugar (i used actual sugar.  in the future i will use pitted dates instead.)
1 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1 t cinnamon (i can taste cinnamon, i think.)

frosting:
almonds, probably about 2 cups sliced.
frozen blueberries, almost an entire bag
some lemon juice (to give it a little curdle - you know, the tart cream cheese thing.  plus lemon is good with blueberry, yes?)

will it turn out?  i'm eating the frosting by the spoonful, the cake is in the oven, we will see.
