Lots of women rave about carrot cake. I didn’t get that. The carrot cakes I tried were dull and dry. More like pieces of bread than pockets full of fun. Two days ago I discovered that carrots do know how to ‘dance’. It’s just that you have to turn the right music on and put them in the right setting. Inge and Noortje know all about this recipe for success. They serve a carrot cake that rocks, a mighty moisty one – almost a pudding – with bits of walnuts. Try a piece at Back to Black, their vivid specialty coffee bar, coffee roastery and concept store with international vibes. Add even more value to your cake and have a regular espresso on the side or have slow coffee made by means of a siphon. Shop before you leave for art and design products or packages Back to Black coffee, brewed from Latin American (El Salvador) and African (Rwanda) beans. Walk or cycle via the Rijksmuseum back home.
