Healthy, Simple & Delicious! Carrot Cake

I had the down-to-earth, healthy scones and muffins in mind when I made this. Rather than thinking of this is a snack, it's better to think of it as a health food full of fibre!
I wanted to eat a cake with as little oil and amazake as possible, plenty of carrots, fruit and, nuts and zero added sugar!
You can change the oatmeal for the same amount of powder ingredients if you like. You can use rye flour, buckwheat flour, cornmeal, rice flour, bran, or wheat germ instead, whatever takes your fancy.
If there isn't a lot of liquid in the carrots, your mixture may end up a bit dry and hard. If this is the case add a bit more soy milk. Recipe by gh97923

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Firstly, prepare the fillings. They should make about 1 cup's worth of ingredients when combined. I added everything to the cup here.
- 2
Next, prepare the powder ingredients. Add all the powdered ingredients to a bowl and mix well with a whisk.
- 3
Now prepare the carrots! Wash the carrots and slice into circular slices. you're going to put them in the food processor so it doesn't matter if they're chopped roughly.
- 4
Add the carrots and ginger to the food processor and give them a quick blend.
- 5
Add the oil, amazake, egg and soy milk to the food processor as well and quickly bend again. Make sure to unstick any carrots that have stuck to the side of the food processor with a spatula and push them back down.
- 6
Once blended, add the mixture to a large bowl. Add in the powdered ingredients and gently mix with a spatula.
- 7
When mostly mixed, add in the filling ingredients and mix again. The resulting mixture should be thicker than even that of a pancake.
- 8
Pour the mixture into a pound cake tin and bake for 25 minutes at 190°C.
- 9
Cut the cake open to find it packed with delicious filling. The outside of the cake should be nice and crispy while the centre remains moist.
- 10
You can use this recipe to make something to replace the egg. Even if you don't use real egg, this cake will still come out nice and moist.

If you scoop the mixture out onto a baking tray with a spoon you can make scones.

Quick, Easy and Delicious Carrot Cake Quick, Easy and Delicious Carrot Cake
My first daughter hated carrots. I thought she might not notice if it was in a snack. My daughter ate it, and my grandchilden ate it. I've been making this cake for over 20 years.The amount of the grated carrots does not have to be exact. You will not notice it. If you want to save some time, I recommend baking the batter in muffin cups. The baking time should be about 25 minutes. Dust confectioners' sugar if you like. Recipe by nokko.t cookpad.japan -

Like most women, I love all that is sweet but I sometimes feel quite guilty when eating large quantities. It's like I can't have just one piece and I believe many of you feel the same way I do. In this recipe I used a very small amount of oil and less sugar than in the original one so feel free to have not one, not two, but as many pieces of this cake as you like! Also, it's a very quick and tasty desert you can make when you don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen so when you're in a hurry and you're craving something sweet, this is the recipe for you. Have fun making it! I’d love to see all your beautiful photos, so feel free to post them and don’t forget to leave a comment! Antonia -

Carrot cake was my mother’s favorite cake. I can remember being four years old and peeling carrots and licking the batter off of the spoon. My father always had something to say about the raw eggs, but my mother didn’t care. Haha, I survived!! Anyway, I got this lamb mold and I wanted to try it out, so I made a carrot cake. This will of course work with any pan. Karl -

I actually made this cake for Valentine's day. I mean Valentine's day is too overfilled with chocolate and heart shapes. Sometimes we just need a simple cake like this. Unlike all the carrot cakes which I'd tasted, there're actually carrots in this cake. Those commercial cakes are usually filled with food coloring and artificial flavorings. To make the cake worse, they used over-sugary cream cheese fillings which kinda make the cakes unbearable to eat, IMHO.As you should have known, I am not a fan of cakes. So, if I have to eat a cake, it has to be my way; dense, moist, fudgy and custardy without over the top sweetness or frosting. Bruno Albouze seems to have what I am looking for. Head over to his YouTube channel for gorgeous desserts, cakes and dishes. Subscribe to his channel too.I decided to decorate my cake with some bits and pieces of honeycomb. There are a few names to call the honeycomb: honeycomb toffee, hokey pokey or cinder toffee. It is like a science experiment when the baking soda is added. I also decided to keep my cake 100% vegan, cos it is one of my goals for 2019; to push out at least 1 vegan recipe a week. In closing, I really hope you will give this recipe a try. I know I am late tho, but this cake will sit well on any dining table without any special occasion. Daniel Lim -

When I was living in England, I received this spiced carrot cake numerous times during the Christmas season. I got a friend to teach me the recipe. The original version was sweeter, but I took the liberty of reducing the sugar and oil, but for the most-part the steps and ingredients are true to the original.Generally speaking, if you use margarine rather than butter, there is no need to add salt.In Step 1 when sifting the dry ingredients, exclude the almond powder.In Step 6, the longer the batter rests, the richer and tastier it becomes. It's okay to let it rest for 2 or 3 days. Recipe by tora-mame. (One 18 cm diameter cake.) cookpad.japan -
