- 2 cups carrots (grated)
- 2 cups water (filtered)
- 2 egg substitute (I used ener-G)
- 1 1⁄4 cups maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons allspice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 3 cups spelt flour or 3 cups unbleached flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3⁄4 cup walnuts (chopped)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9-inch spring form pan with spray oil.
- In a large sauce pan, simmer the raisins and grated carrots in the water over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes.
- Remove and put in a large bowl.
- Add the oil, apple sauce, egg replacers, syrup, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and salt. Stir the mixture well.
- In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking soda and walnuts together. Stir this dry mixture into the carrot raisin mixture.
- Don't over mix this.
- Pour into your spring form pan (you can use a 9-inch square pan if you wish) and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Use a wooden kabob stick to test this cake. A toothpick is not long enough.
- Once this is done cool on a metal rack and turn onto a plate.

I was born in northern Ontario in Canada. I am of Irish /Spanish/French Canadian descent.
In 2002, myself, my hubby Stu, and our dog Ginger moved to the high desert of New Mexico.
I am a Domestic Engineer and a Professional Artist. I enjoy oldies, classical and jazz music.
My hubby is a Professional Jazz and Classical Musician. He plays with the Albuquerque Philharmonic Orchestra which is wonderful because I get to see all his concerts and they are free!
We are trying our best to live a Green and Sustainable lifestyle which is no easy feat in a desert.
I love any cookbook that promotes good health and tasty meals. I enjoy pasta dishes and sweet vegan deserts. I have found that I am very successful in converting conventional recipes to vegan. This has allowed me to enjoy all types of foods that I other wise could not.
Some day we would like to relocate to upstate New York and be closer to my family in Canada and my husbands in New York. My DH retires in 9 years, so nothing will stop us from heading home then :-)
