Each Sabbat I like to cook something special or seasonal. For
Beltane I made a Carrot Cake. It actually took me all day to make this, as I
kept getting distracted, but I got there in the end, and it was well worth it.
I’m going to give you the original recipe, but obviously you can swap certain ingredients out to cater for Gluten-free or vegan diets.
