Ingredients:
- Flax Seeds - 1 teaspoon
- Unrefined Sugar - 1 cup
- Vegetable Oil - 1 cup
- Soya Milk - 1/2 cup
- Apple Juice - 1/4 cup
- Wholemeal Flour - 1/2 cup
- Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon
- Baking soda - 1 teaspoon
- Plain (unbleached) flour - 1-1/2 cups
- Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
- Mixed spice - 1 teaspoon
- Raisins - 1/2 cup
- Carrots (grated) - 4 medium
- Mixed nuts (optional) - 1/2 cup
<Method:
Grind the flax seeds. Add the oil, sugar, apple juice and soya milk. Blend till a thick smooth mixture is formed. Sift the flour into a bowl and add the baking powder, salt, mixed spice and baking soda. Pour in the blended mixture and combine. Add the carrots and the raisins and fold the entire mixture together. Pour into a greased and floured baking tin and cook at 175 C for about 45 minutes (test with a knife, it should come out clean in the very centre of the cake). The only problem with this recipe is that the sweetness of the cake is a bit of an unknown till you get it out of the oven and taste it. Sweet carrots make all the difference. You can add more sweetener to the above recipe if you like your cakes quite sweet. |
