Guess the spices, oh , maybe you read the tags , fresh ground except for the ginger.!
May be because of the time of the season, the smell of apples , cinnamon and other spaces like allspice, cloves etc. seem to dominate in recipes of cakes cookies and muffins. An abundance of carrots made this recipe possible. No, skip the frosting, cut into squares and enjoy. Good for lunchbox and a way to get more carrots into your diet. This recipe makes a very moist cake, one that won’t dry out too soon.
Recipe:
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon of each of the following
Baking soda
Baking powder
Salt
Ground cinnamon, add your own fresh ground spices here as noted above
Blend together to above dry ingredients.
Add:
3 cups shredded carrots
4 eggs
1 cup oil ( possibly less)
Mix to a batter and pan into a 13×9 pan,
Go at 325 degrees 50 to 60 minutes.
Test as usual with tooth pick etc.
Let cool.
