Method:
Mix the dry ingredients – flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda in a bowl. Process the carrots in a food processor until fine. Gently mix in raisins and walnuts. In a bowl, beat the eggs one at a time, add sugar, stevia, apple cider vinegar, orange juice and zest and beat further. Add oil and beat further until all well mixed. Fold in gently the flour mix and carrots mix alternating between the two. Don’t over mix otherwise cake can become dense. Bake at 170 degrees until done. It take about 40 min. Serve with coconut cream and maple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness. Enjoy warm!
