Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 1/2 cups carrots, pulp; 1/2 cup apple, pulp; 1 cup canola oil; 1 cup honey; 3 eggs; 1 tablespoon vanilla; 3 cups whole grain wheat flour; 1 tablespoon baking soda; 2 tablespoons cinnamon; 2 teaspoons nutmeg; 1 1/2 cups crushed walnuts; frosting (Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting compliments this cake perfectly)

Servings: persons

3 1/2 cups carrots, pulp
1/2 cup apple, pulp
1 cup canola oil
1 cup honey
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups whole grain wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 tablespoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons nutmeg
1 1/2 cups crushed walnuts
frosting (Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting compliments this cake perfectly)

1
Preheat oven to 350.
2
Mix together apple pulp, carrot pulp and oil.
3
Add in the honey, eggs, and vanilla.
4
In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix in with the wet ingredients.
5
Stir in walnuts.
6
Grease 2 round cake pans. Put half the mixture in each pan.
7
Bake for about 1 hour. I always check on mine after about 45 minutes.
8
Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Take cakes out of pan and onto a cooling rack until almost all the way cooled off.
9
Put one cake upside down on a plate. Cover with frosting. Put the other cake right side up on top of the upside down one. Cover the entire cake (top and sides) with frosting.
10
I usually put aside a small part of the frosting and color part of it orange and part of it green with food coloring and make carrots on the top of the cake (as best I can - my artistic talents are extremely limited!).

ENJOY!
