- 1 c. grated carrots
- 1 c. plain yogurt
- 1/2 c. orange juice
- 1/2 c. molasses
- 1/2 c. raisins
- 1/2 c. chopped walnuts
- 1/4 c. canola oil
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 c. whole wheat flour
- 1 c. all purpose flour
- 1/2 c. toasted wheat germ
- 1/2 c. flax meal (ground flax seed)
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly spray a 7 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
Combine the carrots, yogurt, orange juice, molasses, raisins, walnuts, oil, eggs and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the flours, wheat germ, flax meal, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until blended and a batter forms. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for about an hour or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely and frost with cream cheese frosting, if desired.
