Healthier Carrot Cake

"I use sunflower seeds because my son has a nut allergy. You can also use applesauce in place of the oil or part of the oil. Also you can use egg whites in place of some eggs. I am not worried about the fat as much as using as better ingredients. We try to buy organic. YUMM"

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix carrots, walnuts, pineapple, raisins, and coconut with 1/2 cup of the flour to coat. This will keep them from sinking to the bottom of the cake batter.
  • Sift and mix 1 1/2 cups flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cream with whip attachment eggs and sugar until light and fluffy (the "ribbon" stage) then drizzle in the vegetable oil.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients and pour over the carrot mixture.
  • Fold carefully to blend.
  • Pour the batter into a buttered and floured pan(10 inch round).
  • Bake until firm to the touch in the center, about 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
  • Let cool on a rack and then turn out.
  • Dust the top with powdered sugar and cut into wedges to serve.
