Moist ‘n’ Tasty Carrot Top Cake (Oh and did I mention healthy too?)

I’ve heard so many people talk about baking with white whole wheat flour and to be honest I have been apprehensive about trying it out till I discovered this easy-peasy recipe in a November 2009 edition of the Parents magazine.

 

 

Added walnuts in my recipe to kick up the “healthy” a notch further!

Here’s the modified recipe…

 

Carrot Top Cake

 

2 cups white whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 large eggs

1 1/4 cups sugar

1/2 cup canola oil

1/4 cup orange juice

1 1/2 cups grated carrot

1 cup chopped walnuts

 

Preheat the over to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baling powder and salt in a medium bowl; whisk until blended.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar with a wooden spoon.

Add oil and orange juice, then combine with flour mixture.

Fold in carrots and walnuts.

Divide batter into cake pans or cupcake liners makes about 18 cupcakes) and bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Transfer to a wire rack and let it cool completely before digging in!

 

I think this tastes best when straight out of the oven and the moist, sponge texture gives the cake added oomph!

Try this out and let me know how your healthy carrot top cake turns out.

    1. Sadie, Bunny girl loved it esp straight out of the oven. My first batch had a lovely crispy texture on top that made it super yummy!

  1. Carrot Cake is a very popular dessert with my husband and sister. But because of the ‘sugar’ content I haven’t ever had him make it for his daycare kids. This sounds like a winner when it comes to nutrition and something the kids would still be able to enjoy.
