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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened applesauce until well blended. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond milk.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, and chopped walnuts until evenly incorporated into the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Once cooled, cut the carrot cake into slices and serve. Enjoy your sugar-free treat!
