Ingredients

    1 cup self rising flour
    1 tsp baking soda
    2 1/2 cups of finely grated carrots
    1 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon
    1 tsp of ground ginger
    3 large eggs
    1/2 cup of applesauce - unsweetened
    1 cup of brown sugar
    1/4 cup of walnuts - chopped
    3/4 cup of golden raisins

    OPTIONAL: zest of lemon, zest of orange, juice of 1/2 orange

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Lay parchment paper on the bottom of a cake pan and spray non-stick spray throughout.

2. Whisk together eggs and sugar in a bowl together until throughly mixed.

3. Add carrots and the optional zest of lemon, orange and orange juice. Omit if you do not have lemon or orange. I did not, I incorporated the applesauce instead and it came out fine.

4. Slowly stir in the spices, baking soda and flour.

5. Add the walnuts and with a spatula, fold in the raisins. Use the spatula to move contents into the cake pan.

6. Place in the oven and cook for 40 minutes.
