Healthy Carrot Cake: A Recipe


1 cup Oil (unrefined canola oil) or melted organic butter
1.5 cups unrefined sugar (Panela)

Mix all the following ingredients together and gradually add to above
2 cups spelt flour
3 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. non-aluminum baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. unrefined salt

Then add 3 cups grated carrots (approx. 3 med.-large ones)
And 1 cup walnuts
Bake at 325 degrees in a 9x12 pan for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick comes out fairly clean (it can still be a bit moist just not gooey)

Icing:
4 oz cream cheese
2 tbsp organic butter or ½ cup organic whipping cream, whipped.
½ tsp. vanilla
Add 2 cups sifted maple sugar or maple syrup (note: the icing will be a bit runnier with the syrup
