Carrot Cake =========== 1 teaspoon Flax Seeds 1 cup Unrefined Sugar 1 cup Vegetable oil 1/2 cup Soya Milk 1/4 cup Apple Juice 1-1/2 cups Plain (unbleached) Flour 1/2 cup Wholemeal Flour 1 teaspoon Baking Powder 1 teaspoon Baking Soda 1/2 teaspoon Salt 1 teaspoon Mixed Spice 1/2 cup Raisins 4 medium Carrots, grated 1/2 cup Mixed nuts (optional) 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.
