ADDICTIVE CARROT CAKE
Wow, this carrot cake is addictive. Thanks to the addition of applesauce, the cake is tender. It has just a hint of cinnamon. We think finely grating the carrots adds not only texture, but a lot of moisture so take the time to finely grate them. Pineapple adds a lot of sweetness to the moist cake but doesn't alter the carrot cake...

- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease, flour, and line with parchment or wax paper (3) 9 inch round cake pans, Or lightly grease and flour a 9x13 cake pan.
- 2. Using a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- 3. In a smaller bowl stir together carrots, eggs, oil, nuts, and pineapple.
- 4. Then stir them into dry ingredients until mixture is well combined. **Hand mix only, do not use an electric mixture or it will make the cake dry.**
- 5. Divide mixture among the 3 cake pans or pour into rectangular pan.

ADDICTIVELY DELICIOUS CARROT CAKE RECIPE
This carrot cake recipe is absolutely delicious, and very easy to make. If I have no carrots, I sometimes substitute the cup of carrot with 1 cup of diced pear or apple. I once served this in slices, alongside a scoop of vanilla icecream, which was divine. I have used both round and loaf -style tins to make this cake. This recipe is by and large taken from Alison Holst's cookbook "Meals without Meat."
