Here’s a recipe for a great carrot cake. I just made one today and it’s pretty good. Best of all, there’s no partially hydrogenated oil so you won’t get any trans-fat. Just good butter (not margarine).

• 1 1/3 c. water
• 1 1/3 c. sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 c. brown sugar
• 1 c. raisins
• 2 large carrots, grated
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 tsp. ground allspice
• 1 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp. ground cloves
• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 c. butter

Combine the above into a saucepan, cook and stir for 5-8 minutes on medium heat. Meanwhile, combine the following in a mixing bowl.

• 2 c. flour
• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 c. chopped walnuts
• 1/2 tsp sea salt

Add the wet mixture to the flour and beat it to death (til the flour clumps go away).

Bake it till its done.

Still haven’t figured out a frosting, but cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla might be a good start.
