Time 1h

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups carrots, grated
1 cup nuts, chopped, pecans if possible
1/2 cup coconut flakes, dry unsweetened
1/2 cup raisins
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground aniseed
2 big bananas, ripe and mashed and beaten until fluffy
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup brown sugar, loosely packed

Steps:

Turn on the oven, set to 350.
Mix flour, carrots, nuts, coconut, raisins and baking soda in a big bowl.
Mix anise, bananas, oil and brown sugar in a smaller bowl.
Add wet ingredient mixture to dry ingredient mixture, and stir gently but thoroughly. Add some milk, a bit at a time, if the batter is too thick to stir comfortably (it should be thick, though, not runny!).
Pour into large buttered cake pan.
Bake 35-40 minutes, until toothpick or knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Allow to cool in pan, and cut into squares. Refrigerate if you want it to last longer. Enjoy!

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality carrots. This will give your cake the best flavor and texture.
Grate the carrots finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cake batter.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
Use a cream cheese frosting for a classic carrot cake flavor. Or, try a different frosting, such as a maple cream cheese frosting or a chocolate ganache.
Garnish the cake with chopped walnuts, pecans, or raisins. You can also use a carrot decoration for a festive touch.
