Remember when you were a kid and you'd think, "I don't want veggies mixed with my dessert!". This is one of my favourite cakes; perfect to have with a large cup of fresh coffee for a Sunday breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of self rising flour
- 1 cup of Natvia 100% Natural Sweetener
- 2 cups of carrots, grated
- 1 cup of your milk of preference (soy/almond for vegetarian option)
- ½ cup of canola oil
- ½ cup of raisins (optional)
Method
- Preheat your oven to 190º C.
- Sift your self rising flour and mix it with the grated carrots and the cup of Natvia in a large bowl.
- Make a hole in the middle and pour the canola oil and milk of preference, I like using almond milk because it is healthier and the flavor combines perfectly with this cake.
- With a spatula, start to incorporate all the ingredients by folding them in.
- Now it is time to add the raisins if you want to add them.
- Pour the batter into a baking pan with parchment paper; you can also use this recipe to make muffins.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until you insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake and it comes out clean.
If you don’t want raisins, there are other good options: almonds, cashews, macadamias or assorted dried fruits.
