Today is my hubby's birthday. He doesn't generally like to make a big deal about it, and I've learned over the years that making him a nice supper and birthday cake is about all he really wants. Our favorite cake is carrot cake, so I decided to throw in a few surprises this time, just because it's a special day.
Mix the following dry ingredients in a medium bowl:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cup white flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp salt
Combined the following ingredients in a large bowl:
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup raw white sugar
3 egg replacers
1 cup melted Earth Balance (or other butter alternative)
2 cups grated carrot
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts
Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
Grease a 9"x13" glass baking sheet with a little Earth Balance. Pour in cake batter and smooth the top.
Bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Enjoy with your favorite icing, ice cream substitute, or just on its own.
