3/4 cup Orange Juice
4 Tablespoons Applesauce
1/3 cup canola oil
1 1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 cups grated carrots
2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root

1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch ground cardamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts

1
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter (or oil) an 8x8 inch cake pan or a 9 inch round pan and dust with flour, shaking out the excess.
2
Put the orange juice, applesauce, oil, 1/2 cup of the raisins, maple syrup, and orange zest in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the carrots and ginger and pulse just to mix.
3
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamon, and salt together. Add the orange juice mixture and combine. Fold in the remaining 1 cup of raisins and the walnuts.
4
Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.
5
When the cake is done, remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Transfer to a wire rack.

Note: apple juice can be substituted for the orange juice, depending on the users preference.
