When it's time for your child's first birthday, it's also time to start looking through all the possible 1st birthday cake recipes that you can prepare. You may find some chocolate cake recipes, some rainbow cake, some vanilla swirl recipes for cakes and all the classics. Do you want something sweet and decadent or something home made like a healthy carrot cake recipe? Many individuals are choosing to make their own cakes - that way they know exactly what ingredients are going into them and they can make sure that the cakes are healthy, rather than giving their baby a giant pile of sugar on their special day. One of my favourite carrot cake recipe is the one I am about to share with you.
Here is what you will need to get your healthy carrot cake started:
- Two and a half cups of carrots, thinly sliced
- Two and a half cups of concentrated apple juice
- One (1) cup of raisins
- Two cups of whole wheat flour
- Half (1/2) cup of vegetable oil
- Two eggs (whites and yolks)
- Four egg whites
- One (1) tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup of applesauce (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup of wheat germ
- Two tablespoons of baking powder (low sodium is recommended)
- One tablespoon of ground cinnamon
Preparation:
1. This recipe makes enough for two (2) medium sized cake tins or one large cake tin. Line the tin(s) with wax paper and grease lightly (ideally using vegetable spray), then pre-heat your oven to 350F.
2. In a frying pan, mix 1 cup of juice concentrate with the shredded carrots. Bring this to the boil then allow it to simmer until the carrots are tender. Mix in the raisins and make a puree out of this blend.
3. Mix together all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and add the remaining juice concentrate.
4. Mix in the remaining ingredients, including the puree you made earlier.
5. Pour this mixture into your cake tin(s) and put in the oven for approx. thirty (30) to thirty-five (35) minutes.
6. Keep an eye on it; you can tell that it's done when you're able to poke the center with a toothpick and take away the toothpick without any batter sticking to it.
