Rustic Carrot Cake Slice

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, eggs and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the fennel bulb and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the carrot cake, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the black pepper along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with a squeeze of lemon and a final crack of pepper.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
