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!
Oh… Cream Cheese icing! That’s the best part of a carrot cake! haha.
Some how, the cream cheese part of the icing makes it seem more healthy.

This carot cake is so delicious. I paired it with sugar-free cream cheese frosting and it was such a big hit! Def one I’m gonna keep and use over and over!!
Wondering if anyone has a good vegan icing recipe- something without refined cane sugar? Maybe with lacuma or agave?
I just made this carrot cake. I made muffins out of it, which baked for about 21 minutes if anyone was curious. I loved that it wasn’t too sweet, especially since I paired it with a very sweet cream cheese frosting! (found the icing recipe here: http://www.recipezaar.com/Cream-Cheese-Icing-22932) The cake was moist and flavorful. Thank you!
I made this cake yesterday for my son’s third birthday and it was sooo delicious! Thanks so much.

Very moist, but delicious!

Way to be vegan baking with no sugar! I cut the cinnamon in half and it took much longer in my oven (I think the temp is off by 25 degrees). Very good with lemon cream cheese frosting.

i added about a cup of pineapple and half cup of raisins. this cake was awesome, but i freaked me out cooking. it took a lot longer than i thought it would. and still seemed wet, i think it is the applesauce. i probably overcooked it a little bit, but it was still really a good cake. definitely moist. a little pudding like. great that the only sweetener is maple syrup! i put cream cheese frosting. just cream cheese and honey and vanilla to taste!
