Ingredients

2 c. spelt flour or whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
2 c. grated carrots
1 c. skim milk, soy milk, or rice milk
1 1/2 c. applesauce
1 c. maple syrup,
1/2 c. crushed walnuts

Preheat the oven to 350F. Mix all dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl: flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Grate the carrots and add along with the rest of the ingredients except for the walnuts to the flour mixture. Mix until “just mixed.” Mix in the walnuts.

Transfer to a greased 13×9x2 pan. Bake for 40-50 min at 350F until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Cool for 30 min and then frost with cream cheese frosting.

Serves: 12

    Absolutely marvelous idea. There is no time like when they are young to help them absorb valuable life lessons. So well done. And that carrot cakes looks scrumptious, too. Of course, I never met a carrot cake I didn’t like!

    Cheers!

    Some how, the cream cheese part of the icing makes it seem more healthy.
