are you slicing and serving this?...what about some sort of sorbet to go alongside?..of course to me a ginger ice cream would be the 'cat's meow'...i'm sure there is a substitute soy based product at your health food store that you could add ginger and canton to...or maybe a dairy free spumante or rum raisin soy based ice cream...some of those health food things are just plain foul, but some are really good...can't remember the brand name of the soy based ice cream, but i remember there was one that was really good...expensive, but good.....as for the carrot cake, i can't even imagine carrot cake without a cream cheese/butter cream icing, but i would suggest the same thing with again looking in your health food store for dairy free or soy based cream cheese or whipping cream.....another suggestion might just be a simple fruit compote...pineapple, raisin, booze.....liquor goes with everything!...again, a sorbet or a dulce de leche dairy free product would be great, but that's probably not going to happen. if the person is lactose intolerant, maybe an different dessert altogether would be better...pumpkin pie, pumpkin tiramisu(marscapone might be a challenge), ....oooo, just thought of maybe making a pumpkin butter for the bundt cake....that might work...just not as thick maybe...bdl...why is the cake called alligator?
