Healthy Carrot Cake with a Lovely Aroma

Ingredients 0/18

Step 1

Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9-inch Bundt pan so the cake doesn’t stick. In a big bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cake flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, carob, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a little well in the middle and add in the molasses, oil, eggs, and orange juice. Stir everything together until the dry ingredients are just moistened.

Step 2

Fold in the orange and lemon zest along with the raisins, chopped figs, poppy seeds, grated carrots, and pecans. Give it a good mix to make sure everything is spread out evenly. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top a bit.

Step 3

Pop the cake in the oven and bake for about an hour and ten minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about half an hour before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the lovely aroma while you wait!
