I love my Mom's cake recipe but wanted to lighten it up. My husband and I think that it is just as good as hers! It is very moist and flavorful.
Ingredients:
3 cups carrots, grated
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 egg whites
2 eggs
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts, chopped
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix together carrots, applesauce, oil, eggs, and sugar.
3. Add pineapple.
4. In a separate bowl combine flour, soda, and cinnamon.
5. Add to wet mixture and mix well.
6. Add raisins and walnuts and mix by hand.
7. Spray pan well.
8. I usually cook mine in a bundt pan or as cupcakes. As a bundt cake cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour. As cupcakes they take 20-25 minutes. Make sure you check them and toothpick comes out clean.
