I love carrot cake. This recipe asks only 40g of sugar and lots of organic carrots. It's sweet and moist. Try without any icing! https://scottish-japanese.cookpad-blog.jp/articles/25209

Steps

1

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan). In a large bowl, mix oil and sugar using a whisk. Add the egg and mix until well combined - looks creamier.
2

Add the carrots and raisins (or seeds/nuts, if preferred), combine well.
3

Add the dry ingredients a third at a time, mixing lightly with a spatula. Try not to knead the mixture!
4

Spoon the batter into the baking tin. Place in the oven to bake for 40 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack.

Hope you enjoy! I can't have this cake any more. The story is told here... https://scottish-japanese.cookpad-blog.jp/articles/25209

I'm a Japanese expat living in the UK. Just started my journey of super healthy eating - added sugar free, dairy free, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant boosting...And nut free as my partner has a nut allergy!
