Serving Size:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of flour
• ¾ tsp baking soda
• 1tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• ½ salt
• 2 eggs
• ¾ cup raw sugar
• ½ cup cold-pressed rice bran oil
• 200g crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 cup of grated carrot
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Mix all the ingredients together except the carrots, pineapple and walnuts.

Once these ingredients are combined, fold in the remaining ingredients.

Pour mix into a lined loaf tin and bake for 45 - 50 minutes.

Notes:

• This is a wonderful recipe – it’s so easy, you really can let your kids make it from beginning to end. You only need to be on hand to do the oven stuff!
• If you can’t find (or don’t have!) rice bran oil, you can replace it with another vegetable oil – I really like to use grapeseed oil.
• Some people don’t like to mix their fruits and veggies (!) – so if you feel uncomfortable adding pineapple to a Carrot Cake, just leave it out. The cake will still be moist, even if it is missing a little of the extra sweetness that the pineapple gives.
