Yes, I realise I have written the word 'carrot'twice in the title. That's because this recipe truly does bring out the carrot flavour of carrots. Cooking the carrots and mashing is the key. Using a microwave or steaming them is better than boiling, because it retains the flavour. Packed full of vitamin A, this recipe is egg-and dairy-free.

Time 1h

Yield 2 loaves, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 carrots
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup applesauce
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour (whole-wheat or plain)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons ginger powder (optional)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Chop the carrots into chunks and place the carrots and water in a bowl and cover the top with cling wrap. Place in the microwave and heat for 15 min on high.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees Celsius Lightly grease the bottom of two mini loaf pans or one medium loaf pan.
  • Place in a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher. Don't worry if it's not very smooth.
  • Add the oil, honey and applesauce and mix.
  • Add the flour and salt and ginger powder. Mix until even.
  • Pour into 2 mini loaf pans or one medium loaf pan. Cooking time is similar for both, although you might have to cook for longer if using a medium loaf pan. Sprinkle sunflower seeds evenly on top.
  • Bake for 30-35 min if using two mini loaf pans, or 35-45 min if using medium size.
  • Allow to cool for a minute before turning out.

This carrot cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the glaze next time.

I'm not a big fan of carrot cake, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so delicious! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the honey glaze was the perfect touch. I will definitely be making this again.

This cake was okay. It wasn't as moist as I would have liked, and the honey glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be too complicated. There were too many ingredients and steps involved. I ended up giving up and ordering a carrot cake from the bakery instead.

This carrot cake was a disappointment. It was dry and bland, and the honey glaze was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

This carrot honey cake was a hit with my family! It was moist and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness. The glaze on top added a nice touch of extra flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
