- On 21 October 2015, the EU Commission announced that rulings granted by the Luxembourg tax authority to Fiat and by the Netherlands tax authority to Starbucks were illegal state aid. The relevant member states have been ordered to recover the unlawful benefit from the companies, estimated as around €20m to €30m each.
- In broad terms, state aid is a benefit granted by a public body that applies selectively to businesses in one sector and gives them a competitive advantage over other businesses and so harms competition within the EU.
- In principle, tax rulings can qualify as state aid if they amount to a benefit that is granted by a state, is selective, and distorts competition.
- If the Commission determines that unlawful state aid has been granted, the relevant member state is required to claw back the benefit, in principle without limit of time.
Fiat Financing and Trade (FFT)
- Fiat had a financing company in Luxembourg that acted as a group treasury company, with a business broadly comparable to that of a bank. The company was the centralised treasury resource for the group as a whole, dealing with cash pooling, external bank relationships, forex, risk management, etc. The ruling concerned the transfer pricing methodology to be used by FFT to determine its taxable profits.
- The Commission has determined that the ruling was based on an "artificial and extremely complex methodology" including "economically unjustifiable assumptions and down-ward adjustments": it produced a taxable profit that the Commission estimated was only a twentieth of what might be expected on an arm's length basis.
Starbucks Manufacturing EMEA BV
- Starbucks had a coffee roasting company in the Netherlands. It was granted a tax ruling in 2008 on the Dutch tax treatment of two intra-group transactions: it bought unroasted (green) coffee beans from a sister company in Switzerland, and it paid royalties to a sister entity in the UK for the licensing of know-how relating to the roasting of the beans (the UK entity was a limited partnership and neither it nor its member were taxed in the UK or the Netherlands on its income).
- The Commission has determined that the price paid to its affiliate in Switzerland was significantly higher than an arm's length price, and could not be justified by the alleged quality of the beans, and that the royalty paid to the UK was also significantly larger than could be justified.
In each case, the EU Commission determined that the company had been granted a selective tax advantage by the relevant member state, arising from the state agreeing to an "artificial" transfer pricing method that did not properly reflect the economic reality, which enabled the company to pay less tax.
- In the first instance, do not panic. It is likely that Fiat and Starbucks (and the other companies being investigated for potential state aid, including Apple and Amazon) will appeal and there are reasons to believe at least some of the appeals might be successful. For example, it might be said that the treatment is not selective because it was based on the general law and administrative practice of the tax authority in the relevant member state and that in principle a similar ruling was available to any taxpayer upon request.
- Secondly, even if Fiat and Starbucks lose their appeals, it is unlikely that the EU Commission will investigate the tax rulings granted to hundreds or thousands of other businesses to determine if there is state aid. It is more likely that the Commission might investigate a few more exemplary cases, where the facts are particularly bad, to encourage compliance by others. It is also possible that member states will be asked to review historic rulings, although there is little political appetite for that.
- Going forward, the tax ruling behaviour in many EU member states has already changed markedly. In parallel, following the suggestion of the OECD in its BEPS reports, the EU has already implemented a directive that will require more transparency in relation to tax rulings, including automatic exchange of cross-border tax rulings between tax authorities, which should mean that there is much less chance of a tax ruling granted today being found to be state aid in a few years' time.
- That said, taxpayers who are currently relying on historic tax rulings similar to those in Fiat and Starbucks should review their position to determine if they might be vulnerable to attack.
- The ruling against Fiat begs the question whether rulings obtained by a large number of private funds in relation to their Luxcos will be impacted. We think not.
- The Fiat ruling was very different from those typically obtained by Luxembourg asset holding companies used by private investment funds.
- First, it is important to understand the difference between tax rulings (ATAs) and transfer pricing rulings (APAs). The Fiat and Starbucks cases both involve APAs (transfer pricing only) and so should not impact ATAs obtained by Luxcos which usually just confirm the generally applied law in Luxembourg (for example, the treatment of hybrid instruments as debt, the ability to claim a deduction for return on such instruments, and the non-applicability of withholding tax to such returns). These ATA rulings are generally seen as confirmatory of the law, not departing from it. Such rulings do not seem amenable to challenge on state aid grounds.
- APAs in Luxembourg no longer determine the margin to be retained by a fund Luxco on back-to-back financing and OECD principles now need to be applied to determine the appropriate margin. It is possible to obtain an ATA from the Luxembourg tax authorities confirming the appropriate margin for a Luxco on its finance activities, but, obtaining an APA in this context is less typical than obtaining an ATA, with Luxcos often just relying on a transfer pricing report to justify the (typically low) margin.
- However, in any case, the functions of the Luxco in the Fiat case differ greatly from those of a typical fund Luxco. A fund Luxco is essentially just a finance conduit and does not bear material credit risk. Unlike in the Fiat case, its functions are not comparable to those of a bank. As such, the limited margin being retained within such structures should be justifiable on OECD principles and the generally accepted low margin in relation to such activities (whether or not supported by an ATA) should not be impacted by the Fiat ruling.

This plan will eliminate more greenhouse gases than any single city plan to date.
Diesel fuel has never been great for the environment, and with a federal government that has zero interest in helping the environment, local governments are taking matters into their own hands when it comes to this poisonous fuel. The city of Portland, Oregon recently announced their plan to eliminate the use of diesel fuel by maximizing their methane collection from the city's sewage and converting it into renewable gas.
Portland already collects methane from the sewage, which is a greenhouse gas that is produced by bacteria as it decomposes solid waste, and has been collecting about 77 percent of the methane emitted since 2008. The city decided to increase this amount to 100 percent, thereby allowing no methane to go to waste and converting what's collected into a renewable natural gas that can replace diesel fuel.
The new plan will cut greenhouse gas emissions by 21,000 tons a year, which is more than any other single city project to date. It will also generate more than $3 million in revenue a year because they intend to sell the new gas and it will also replace 1.34 million gallons of dirty diesel fuel with clean, renewable gas.
"We are creating a triple-win for the public in terms of revenue, climate action and cleaner air," said Commissioner Nick Fish. "The renewable natural gas we will produce is truly local and homegrown, a by-product of the waste from every Portland household that we can now repurpose."
Diesel fuel harms the environment, humans, and animals because of the release of carbon, particulate matter, and nitrogen dioxide into the atmosphere, which contributes to smog and causes health problems. Particulate matter can cause or aggravate cardiovascular and lung diseases, heart attacks and arrhythmias, cancer, and birth defects. Nitrogen dioxide has a similar effect and can even lead to premature death.
Though some newer models have filters to catch particulate matter and prevent it from going into the air, these filters sometimes don't work and are often taken off by truck owners. This is why it's so important for Portland, and many other cities with similar plans already in place, to replace diesel fuel as soon as possible.
Portland estimates that it can produce enough clean gas to fuel 154 garbage trucks for an entire year, but they intend to sell it to outside customers within the city and nearby in order to fund the project. Since the renewable gas is more expensive than diesel fuel, it'll raise tons of money faster than diesel.
"Because our product is a renewable fuel and not a fossil fuel, it commands a five-to-ten times higher price on the renewable energy market," said Environmental Services Director Mike Jordan. "Doing the right thing turns out to be a great deal."
By the end of 2017, the new fueling station for city trucks is expected to be done and operable. By the end of 2018, Environmental Services plans to start feeding the renewable natural gas into NW Natural's network, which is how fuel will be sold on the renewable energy market using a system of energy credits to Oregon and out-of-state buyers.

We evaluated the acute effects of isosorbide dinitrate on the kinetics of oxygen uptake during the onset of exercise at a constant work rate in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods: We studied 14 patients with coronary artery disease who performed 6 min of low-intensity exercise at a constant work rate on a cycle ergometer 30 min after oral administration of 10 mg of isosorbide dinitrate or placebo in a double-blind, crossover manner. Oxygen uptake was calculated from breath-by-breath analysis of respired gases. The time constant of oxygen uptake kinetics during the onset of exercise was determined by fitting a single exponential function to the oxygen uptake response. Results: Heart rate was significantly increased at rest, and systolic blood pressure was significantly decreased both at rest and during exercise after administration of isosorbide dinitrate. The time constant of oxygen uptake was significantly shorter (the kinetics were faster) after administration of isosorbide dinitrate (39.4 ± 10.1 vs 44.5 ± 10.5 s, P= 0.038). Conclusions: Isosorbide dinitrate was found to speed the kinetics of the increase in oxygen uptake during constant work-rate exercise. The time constant of oxygen uptake, which reflects the rapidity of cardiovascular adaptation at the onset of exercise, seems to be a useful parameter of the effectiveness of therapy in patients with coronary artery disease.

The nights are drawing in so it's important that when you're heading out to be extra careful...
So, wherever you are in the world, always remember to take care of yourself!
Here are our top 10 tips for staying safe when you hit the town...
- Make sure you line your stomach before you go out if you're planning on drinking alcohol. You don't want to be the one that has to head home super early!
- If you're travelling at night it's always safest to travel with your friends or in a group...plus it's more fun, all aboard the banter bus!
- It's always handy to save a few local taxi numbers and book in advance to save yourself hanging around in the freezing cold because you didn't want to bring a jacket.
- Make sure the cab you get is licensed before you get in.
- If you have a bag, make sure it has a zip or that the clasp is facing inwards so you're not an easy target when you're throwing some shapes.
- Don't let strangers follow you past your halls gates. It wouldn't seem normal if a randomer walked in if you were back home.
- Even if you're really skint don't accept drinks from strangers or start sipping on a drink you think is yours that's been left for ages - you don't know what could be lurking in there.
- If you need to go to the cash machine make sure you are in a busy, lit up area preferably with a mate next to you.
- Drink water in-between alcohol, you'll be grateful for the added hydration in the morning!
- Before all that, make sure you bring your ID or you won't be getting very far!
Following these tips means you can go out stress-free, and wake up the next morning with your wallet, phone, keys and dignity still intact!

Snark Busters, October 2010
By Shonquis Moreno
In an Odin Fragrances pop-up shop this June, the product became a product display. On a leafy Manhattan block, Daniel Arsham and Alex Mustonen of Snarkitecture sculpted a monochrome interior that abstracts the company's familiar black scent bottle and plants the all- white replicas - made from plaster-like gypsum cementer - on stalks that grow from the floor and cables that float from the ceiling.
As in their habit, the two men made the existing architecture perform in an unexpected way. 'Opting for a counter-intuitive move,' Mustonen says, 'we made an already small space even smaller by dropping this suspended landscape from the ceiling to a point where a portion of the space can be entered only by a child or by someone crouching.'
While the installation filled almost all the available store space, Snarkitecture countered the density of all those bottles with a big glazed store front, a white-on-white interior and a mirrored rear wall. The end result? A little like Alice falling down the rabbit hole.

Warriors vs. Nuggets 10/24/14 Free NBA Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Denver Nuggets (2-5) vs. Golden State Warriors (5-2)
NBA Basketball: Friday October 24
The Line: TBA See the Latest Odds
The Golden State Warriors and the Denver Nuggets face off on Friday at Oracle Arena as both teams play their final preseason NBA game of 2014.
The Golden State Warriors are looking to become more than a one man show as they have accumulated some young talent in hopes of taking it to the next level. The Warriors are coming off of a blowout win over the Clippers where Stephen Curry scored 27 points and had six assists to lead the way. David Lee had 12 points and six rebounds, Andre Iguodala scored 11 points, and Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, and Festus Ezeli each had 10 points. The Warriors shot a blistering 59 percent from the floor and outrebounded the Clips 46-31 in the route. The Warriors have leaned on Curry but they are going to need to be more than one player if they hope to go further in the playoffs.
USA TODAY Sports
The Denver Nuggets are 2-5 this preseason and are coming off of a loss to Portland where they scored just 75 points. Wilson Chandler was the leading scorer scoring just 13 points. Darrell Arthur had 10 points, Alonzo Gee had seven points, and Randy Foye had seven points. Denver has been one of the highest scoring teams over the years but they shot just 32.6 percent from the floor last game and were out rebounded 57-42. Denver has been nearly unbeatable at home over the years but they didn't have that edge last season so it puts more pressure on them in their road games.
Golden State is 4-0 against the spread in their last four games and he over is 6-0 following their last six wins. Denver's games have gone over in their last four games following a loss and the over is 5-1 in their last six Friday games. Denver is 2-8 against the spread in their last 10 games against Golden State.
The line for this game isn't out yet so please check back shortly after it does and I will update this with a free pick.

Mini Grammar Lesson
Comparative and Superlative Adjectives
For most adjectives with two or more syllables, adding the word "more" forms the comparative, and adding the word "most" forms the superlative. Example: colorful, more colorful, most colorful.
Some adjectives are irregular and completely change when using the comparative and superlative.
Examples: good/better/best bad/worse/worst.
Modifiers with adjectives/adverbs:
Example - Italy is far warmer than England, but only a little less expensive
Modifiers with superlatives:
Example - London is by far the most expensive UK city.

The Secretariat of Economy (SE, by its initials in Spanish) of Mexico and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MIC) of Dominican Republic signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the purpose of advising and assisting the Caribbean country in implementation of a reform of secured transactions.
The Agreement was signed by the Director General of Commercial Regulations of the SE, Elsa Regina Gómez Ayala, who came with the representation of the Under Secretariat of Competition and Regulation, Rocío Ruiz Chávez, and the Deputy Minister of Development to the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Dominican Republic, Ignacio Méndez Fernandez.
During the event, Elsa Regina Ayala highlighted the efforts made by Dominican Republic, through the MIC, to improve the business climate, especially for increasing the access to credit for the SMEs, and she showed the willingness of the SE to support and share their experiences and best practices on the issue of security guarantees.
For its part, the Deputy Ministry for the Promotion of the SMEs stated that this rapprochement between the MIC and the Secretariat of Economy complements the efforts of the reforms being made since 2013 to expand access to credit for the SMEs; and those who various public and private actors have been involved, such as the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic (CBDR), the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Development (MEPYD) and the World Bank (WB).
"This MOU demonstrates that our public institutions, the international organizations and colleague institutions can work articulated and make joint efforts to improve the access to credit for our SMEs and the business climate in our country", said Ignacio Méndez.
The works of reform to the system of security transactions in the country are part of the Project of Technical Assistance, signed between the MEPYD and the World Bank, which it was agreed to work four targeted indicators of the Doing Business Report to improve the business climate in Dominican Republic. These efforts have been supported of CBDR and its implementation is being carried out by the MIC, in the Bureau of access to credit.
Later, Elsa Regina Ayala Gómez, Director General of Commercial Regulations, and Diana Muñoz, Coordinating Director of the Public Registry, taught the seminar "The security transactions as a tool for access to credit for the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises: the experience of Mexico," which covered all in legal matters concerning applicable to secured transactions, in order to guide the sectors involved on the relevance of the topic.
In the event, which was held in the auditorium of the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic, more than 60 professionals in the areas of law and economics as well as representatives of various banks in the country, who exchanged experiences and strengthened their knowledge participated.

I don't know, Bill. I like shots of this landscape in all conditions and thoroughly enjoyed yours.
If you can emulate mine in PS, you'll have to give me the recipe ;-)
Yes, Govett's Leap does have a rather handy car park right there. But I am sure your walk was good anyway - the tracks in those parts are epic, with wonderful views at every turn.

It's getting to that melting time of year up here in the North, these are by far my least popular photographs but I love shooting down on to the melting ice, capturing the air bubbles and the leaves being uncovered by the increasing power of the sun. I don't mind that people think it's odd that I photograph these things, they look lovely printed big and up on the wall! I'm really enjoying the focus stacking function on the XF, this is a simple 3 image stack at f5.6, very sharp and lots of depth to the print, nice.

I managed to pick up an old overhead projector for £20 the other day, reminds me of the long ago days of school!
Anyway, put a piece of white paper on it and an old dried out flower with a piece of glass over the top and just shot straight down with the light on, I quite like this, pretty much straight from the camera apart from a crop.

Spring St Just in Roseland Church
Cornwall, UK.
This Church dates from the 13th century AD with a 6th century heritage. Many allied troops left from this area here for the D Day landings in 1944 and left their names in the visitors book which can be seen in the church. Perhaps the last peace and calm many of them will have known.

Update: Microsoft has released its first "Law Enforcement Requests Report," which the company says will apparently be released every six months from now on--revealing, that in 2012, the company received 75,378 law enforcement requests (including Skype).
Microsoft said the requests would have affected about 137,424 customer accounts or other identifiers. Microsoft added the number of requests impacted less than two one-hundredths of one percent of all of the accounts that are recorded by the company.
Adding, it said that 18% of the requests (again, excluding Skype) resulted in the disclosure of no information being given to law enforcement authorities, "either because Microsoft rejected the request or because no customer information was found."
Microsoft did disclose what it called "non content information" for 79.8 percent of the law enforcement requests in 2012. Actual content disclosures were given to authorities for 1,558 requests, which comprised 2.1 percent of the total law enforcement requests.
Check the full report at the Microsoft's Transparency site.

- We have a bunch of new characters all focused on making water games. Heading the list is Octo. Like a real octopus he can squirt ink and camouflage himself.
- Programmable control for some of the world settings: you can now change the sky color and lighting effects via programming. The transitions can either be instant or you can have them happen over time. Whatever works best for your game.
- Programmable control of some character settings: you can change a character's size or max speed on the fly now. Like the world settings you can control how quickly this change happens," informs Microsoft.

We already knew, Microsoft is working on the "Windows Blue" operating system for Windows Client and Windows Phone. Now, according to a report, there's also going to be a Windows Server Blue release.
Stephen Chapman of MSFTkitchen in a blog post mentions that a former Senior User Experience Lead for Windows Server on his resume mentions--"he has been since August 2012 working on "design and user experience delivery of Windows Server and System Center Datacenter Management Portals for Windows Blue"."
Also, refrence to another Microsoft employee who has been working on the Workflow Manager Azure Service mentions on his resume he work on shipping MSDTC (Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator) features in Windows 8 and Windows Blue.
That's not all, Chapman also found (via) a video clip of a TechFest 2013 employee-only session, briefly demostrating next version of FreshPaint app, which is expected to be available for Windows Blue and Windows Phone Blue.
Windows Blue and Windows Server Blue are supposedly will be optimized to run on smaller screen sizes and coming late this summer. While, Windows Phone Blue is expected early 2014.

Knightsbridge Estate Agents
With the current instability in the real estate market, a house that has been put up for sale might need something extra so that it can be sold quickly. A home to be sold quickly needs to be clean, uncluttered and properly arranged. However, according to the latest market trends, the buyers are more interested in what they cannot see rather than what is clearly visible to them. House staging or house dressing is important for a house to be sold quickly. A well staged house gives a good first impression to the buyer and thus can be sold easily.

The blockbuster movie of the 90's is now a blockbuster casino game.
All Slots Online Casino has released the Terminator 2 online slot machine based on the famous Terminator 2 movie that was the blockbuster hit of the 1990s. The online slot machine features all the stars of the Terminator 2 movie including John and Sarah Connor, the good-guy original T-800 Terminator, and the bad-guy advanced prototype T-1000. The online slots game also features 243 Ways to Win, which expands to 1024 Ways to Win during the Free Spins round.
The Orb that transported the Terminator from the future is a scatter symbol and Free Spins trigger in this online slot game. The 10 Free Spins round not only has expanded reels with 1024 Ways to Win, it also has the T-1000 Transform feature to create even more winning payouts.
T-800 Vision is an innovative special feature of Terminator 2 slots that can be activated randomly at any time. When you have T-800 Vision, you can see every character image that appears on the reels award a bonus payout, and you can see a single scatter symbol trigger the 10 Free Spins round.
After every winning spin in Terminator 2 slots, the winning character symbols jump into action in real video scenes from the Terminator 2 movie, bringing all of the excitement of the cinema into the online slots casino. Industry analysts are expecting Terminator 2 to be one of the top blockbuster online casino games of the decade.

Councils make record £600m from parking fines
MOTORISTS are forking out record amounts in council parking charges and fines, figures reveal.
Councils made £594million out of drivers in 2012-13 – up five per cent on the previous year. Only 52 out of 353 did not make a profit.
According to the RAC Foundation, drivers are paying the most for parking in London. All but three of the highest-earning councils in the top 10 are in the capital.
Westminster Council, the top earner, made a profit of almost £40million.
The latest figures, which are based on data from the Department for Communities and Local Government, suggest profits this financial year will be £632million.
The findings come after Communities Secretary Eric Pickles announced plans this month to tackle aggressive parking policies, including a review of double yellow lines and the use of CCTV.
He is planning a consultation process over changes to parking rules as part of £1billion aid for high streets to boost jobs. A cap on rises in parking penalty charges has also been proposed.
Westminster Council, the top earner, made a profit of almost £40million
Prof Stephen Glaister, director of the RAC Foundation, said investment in road safety had fallen by up to 20 per cent since 2010, despite the record profits.
He said: "All councils should publish an annual parking report to explain how much money is collected from drivers and...where that cash is going.
"It might be that some of the extra profit has arisen because councils' costs have been reduced, but drivers need to know this." Brian MacDowall, of the Association of British Drivers, said: "To charge people more for the same service during the depth of recession is unacceptable. This is a kind of stealth tax, and motorists are a captive audience."
However Cllr Peter Box, chairman of the Economy and Transport Board at the Local Government Association, insisted all profits were spent on necessities like road repairs or subsidised buses while councils were "keeping a lid on parking charges".
He said: "Councils do not make a profit from parking."
Ukip's small businesses spokesman Amjad Bashir said: "The High Street already faces stiff competition from the internet.
"If people can't drive into town and park up, that's going to hit shops and restaurants hard too."

Here at Amidst the Chaos, we really believe in supporting and empowering women. Especially when it comes to supporting other female entrepreneurs, such as bloggers. Since I have started blogging, I have realized just how important it is to network and build good relationships with other bloggers. I have been SO blessed to have found an amazing network of strong, passionate and amazing female bloggers. There is no comparing, no judgment, but rather a real sense of camaraderie and wanting to help spur each other on and support one another. As women who are trying to ultimately make a business and provide for their families, there's a mutual trust that it built where we want to see each other succeed.
So with that said, I want to do my part in supporting and showcasing some of my favorite bloggers work! And in the same way that when I work with brands, I promise to only bring you the best of the best, that will be my promise to you with these bloggers too. These are women that I have become fast friends with (some I know personally and others I only know online or through texts!). But these are blogs that I've grown to love and be inspired by and I want YOU to be inspired by them as well.
So I decided to ask my friend Pam to be my first guest blogger. She blogs over at Clean Life, Happy Wife. Not only is she probably one of my most beautiful friends, inside and out, she is such an inspiration when it comes to diet/health and exercise. She is actually the one who got me started on the 8 Week Challenge. You can read more about that here.
So without further ado, here is Pam!
My sweet little 4 year old son has inherited many traits from my side of the family, most notably is his sweet tooth! My boy loves cookies, cupcakes, and chocolate…actually it's hard to think of a sweet treat that he doesn't like! There is an amazing little bakery near a park that the kids and I like to visit in the summer. This is no ordinary bakery! Everything is made fresh from scratch each day! They offer some of the MOST amazingly delectable desserts you will find anywhere!
The first time I took my son to the bakery, I told him and my daughter that they could each pick out one treat. My daughter instantly went to the brightly iced butterfly cookies and chose one for her treat. My son slowly ventured away from the kids desserts and toward the cabinet that held the more delicate sweets. He had his eye on one dessert in particular: a mini carrot cake. My son had never tried carrot cake before and I had a feeling that after one bite he may not be so interested in it anymore. I tried to direct him back towards the brightly iced cookies and sprinkle topped cupcakes.
He gave those more "kid friendly" treats a considerable thought, but was still drawn back to that carrot cake!
"You know this cake has a vegetable in it right?" I tried to persuade.
"You know it's not like a regular chocolate or vanilla cake…AND that you are going to hit little chunks of carrot in each bite?"
He looked at me with his brown eyes wide and nodded his head "yes".
"Cole" I tried to reason, "you don't even like carrots! Mommy has tried to feed them to you many times and you won't eat them"
"I don't like REGULAR carrots Mommy, only carrot CAKE" he countered in an exasperated tone.
"Well, what's the worst that can happen? He doesn't eat it. No big deal right?"
So, we left the bakery with one butterfly cookie, one mini carrot cake, and one smiling little 4 year old boy.
The kids were each holding the paper bag with their goodie inside as we drove 5 minutes to the park. I pulled into a parking space, hopped out of the driver's seat and opened the back van door. My son was sitting in his car seat with an empty bag and a face full of cream cheese icing. "Oh no" I thought "What a mess! Where is the rest of the cake?" I started looking on the floor by his seat and even crouched down to look under his seat. No sign of the cake.
I asked my Son, "Where is your cake?"
"I ate it" my son innocently replied.
"I see that you have eaten some of it but where is the REST of the cake?" I asked
Again he replied, "I ate it".
I stood there in disbelief.
Surely he didn't devour an entire mini carrot cake with his bare hands in the 5 minute drive to the park!
But, by all accounts the cake was gone.
I stared at him in astonishment.
"Well, what did you think of it?" I asked
He threw his hands in the air and exclaimed "I LOVE carrot cake!"
What a kid!
I grabbed some baby wipes for his fingers and made a mental note to register him for the upcoming pie eating contest at our local summer fair. This kid has skills!
Needless to say, carrot cake has made some pretty regular appearances since that day at the bakery! I tinkered with a few recipes to come up with a "clean" version of this family favourite. This recipe can be made as a cake as I did here or into little muffins/cupcakes.
- 1⁄2 Cup ground pumpkin seed 1⁄4 Cup coconut flour
- 1 Tsp baking powder
- 1 Tsp cinnamon
- 1⁄2 Tsp nutmeg
- 1⁄2 Tsp vanilla
- 2 Cups shredded carrots
- 3⁄4 Cup apple butter
- 3⁄4 Cup date butter
- 4 eggs
- Chopped walnuts or raisins optional
- 1 Cup coconut milk (place a can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight. Gently open the can and scrape out only the hard coconut that has risen to the top)
- 1 1⁄2 Cups Palm oil shortening (you will find this at a health food store)
- 1 Tsp vanilla
- 2 Tbsp coconut flour 3⁄4 Cup date butter
- 2 Tbsp Apple butter 1⁄2 Tsp cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Line a round cake pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
- In one bowl combine all dry ingredients and mix well.
- In a separate bowl combine all wet ingredients and mix well.
- Pour the mixed wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Pour the batter into your cake pan (or 3 separate cake pans if you want to layer it like I did).
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Icing: Mix the shortening and coconut milk in a mixing machine for approx 5 minutes. Slowly add in remainder icing ingredients.
- Once the cake is cooled, icing it to your liking, sprinkle with nuts, and serve!
This cake is great as a dessert but is also healthy enough to have a piece (or two) for breakfast! I hope you enjoy this cake as much as we do!

That looks so strange, but man it sounds tasty enough!
Haha…yes, this does not have a "traditional" carrot cake look to it, but it is pretty tasty! I hope you like it! Thanks for reading! xo, Pam
I love carrot cake too! This looks so delish and I am so happy that you did ice the whole cake. I think it is so great that Christine like to host other bloggers and she chose you … I checked out your site and it is full of things I like! Thanks for an easy entertaining read.

Carrot cake is my favorite!! Never thought to add pumpkin! My birthday is this month and I always ask for carrot cake – can't wait to try this!
I hope you love this! A little tip: If you are grinding your own pumpkin seeds make sure to do it thoroughly! The first time I made this recipe the pumpkin seeds were a little chunky so the texture wasn't quite right! The flavour was sooo good though! I hope you like it! 🙂 xo, Pam
This looks delicious! I have a huge sweet tooth and am also trying to start a clean diet. I definitely will be pinning this recipe!
For being completely sugar free, this recipe is pretty satisfying! Thanks for reading! I hope you love it! xo, Pam
Lol! You don't even like carrots! 🙂 Made me laugh. This sounds amazing! Will have to try it. Love a good carrot cake!
True story! My son still will not eat carrots but asks for carrot cake for his birthday every year! His picky eating requests make no sense but I'm glad he loves this recipe because I love it too! A victory for a Mom with a picky eater: a dish we BOTH like! 🙂 Thanks for reading! xo, Pam
This looks wonderful! I love finding modifications for making clean and healthier treats, and this one has some great substitutions!
this looks delish!! Must try it!
Haha, hilarious! That's why I never trust my kids "alone" with treats. 🙂 And yummy! I love a good carrot cake recipe, can't wait to try this one!
Pinned!! I will be making this as Carrot cake is my all time fav!! And it's clean, yay!!
I hope you like it! For a clean cake it's pretty tasty!
Xo, Pam

I hope you like it! Thank you for reading! xo, Pam
Wow! Looks amazing and healthy too! Love it!
Isin't it exciting to find treats that are actually healthy? I hope you like this! xo, Pam
This story is hilarious, and that cake looks amazing! I'm not a huge carrot cake fan, and now that I can't eat gluten I tend to be very picky about the baked goods I buy when they tend to cost twice as much, but this story was so great it almost makes me want carrot cake anyways! And I do love cream cheese icing…:)
This looks yummy! I am trying to slowly get into eating cleaner, and I will definitely be marking this recipe as one to try soon!
YUM! This looks so delicious! Will be pinning this one for sure!
This is pretty yummy for a clean cake! Thank you for reading and for pinning! xo, Pam
I LOVE Carrot Cake!!! Omg making this now. Okay maybe not, but I will soon!! Thank you (:
I was going to start by saying yayyyy blog relationships! But I have to say Lololol because that's what I'm doing!!! That's the cutest story, I really think it's a glimpse into my future!;) My son is only 10 months but he has a food obsession!
I am 100% behind the sweet tooth team!! But my hubby is not a sweets person with the exception of carrot cake!!! So love this, I must bookmark!
Ok now on to the ladies, blogging has been so good to me I am forever grateful for the friends and relationships I've already formed! Amazing :))
Yes! I agree! The support from other bloggers is something that I wasn't expecting when I first started blogging and I love it! (especially Christine! She's my favourite!) I have a few recipes on my blog that I use to trick my sweets loving boy! Hopefully they will work for your son too! Thanks for reading! xo, Pam

I used to be like the little boy – wouldn't touch carrot cake until one day I tried a Dufflet carrot cake and oh my goodness, it was divine. Since then, LOVE carrot cake! 😉
