ingredients

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup wheat bran
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cup peeled and grated carrots
1 cup raisins
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup orange juice

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.

In a bowl, combine the flour, wheat bran, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well.

In another bowl, combine the grated carrots, raisins, honey, and orange juice. Fold the carrot mixture into the flour mixture. Do not overmix, just stir until the carrots are coated in the mixture.

Transfer the cake batter to the prepared loaf pan. Place in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Remove from the oven. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

You can sprinkle it with powdered sugar or drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze. Also good with cream cheese frosting.

surely this is missing some eggs or something ? I cooked this 'cake' and all I got was a thin chewy crust on top and a big hot gloopy mess underneath of molten flour, honey and carrot. It even had an extra 30 mins in the oven, but I think it would need to be in there for a few days to dry out enough. It's the wettest cake mix I have ever seen and I was sure it wasn't going to work as soon as I put it in the oven - but I hoped I was wrong
