Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Grated carrots
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened applesauce until well blended. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond milk.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a denser cake.
Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, and chopped walnuts until evenly incorporated into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Once cooled, cut the carrot cake into slices and serve. Enjoy your sugar-free treat!
