Free Healthy Recipe - Carrot and Raisin Cake

Low sugar

It's hard to find recipes that use no sugar or butter and still taste good, but this scrumptious cake is naturally sweetened and uses the delicate, nutty flavour of almond oil and low-fat yoghurt to moisten.

Ingredients

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

6 walnuts chopped

¼ cup cold compressed almond oil

¹/3 cup non fat yoghurt

2 tsp vanilla essence

2 cups raw carrot, finely minced

½ cup raisins, finely chopped

2½ cups wholewheat flour

4 egg whites

1 tbsp apple juice concentrate

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.

Sift the dry ingredients twice. Chop the walnuts roughly and mix in.
Combine oil, apple juice concentrate, yoghurt and vanilla and mix well. Add carrot and raisins. Mix again.
Beat egg whites until stiff. Gently fold them through the fairly stiff carrot mixture. Turn mixture into a foil lined, deep sided 20cm square tin. Cook for 1 hour. Cover with foil for 10 minutes. Remove foil lid and leave to cool.
