Carrot Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 3/4 cup sugar 
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 4 medium carrots, grated
• 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
• 
  
• 50 gr dark chocolate, grated
• or 
• 1/4 cup dried dates, chopped

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add the wet ingredients into the dry mix and beat to combine. If batter is too dry add more milk, if too wet add more flour. The batter should have a slightly sticky texture.

Pour the batter into the oiled pan and bake in the center of a preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes until done. Check the center for doneness with a wooden pick. The cake should be firm, and may appear slightly golden brown at the edge, yet still be moist inside.

Cool the cake on a wire rack before releasing it from the pan.

Tip: As this cake is not very sweet, it goes beautifully with the frosting of your choice! I have used caramel and cream cheese frosting before ;)
