Carrot Cake
This cake is basically the same recipe for the chocolate cake..similar proportions anyway. I have to 'fess up...I didn't measure accurately, so email me if you do want to try this.
1 cup Earth Balance
1 cup palm sugar
1 tbsp rum (helps to melt the sugar a bit. You could use vanilla)
cream until really fluffy...take your time
Meanwhile, mix together:
1 1/2 cups Gluten Free Flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp fresh nutmeg
1/2 tsp ish fresh ginger, grated
3 tsp baking powder
3 smallish carrots, grated...approx 3/4 ish
3/4 dates, roughly chopped.
Add 4 eggs, one at a time, to fluffy butter mixture.
The mixture may split a bit, it's okay.
Add 1/3 flour mix
then 1/2 cup coconut milk
1/3 flour
a bit more milk...you need a batter the consistency of thickish pancake batter. I should have measured the liquid...I probably added about 3/4 cup of milk total.
add the rest of the dry ingredients, stir quickly to combine well.
Pour into a parchment lined 8x12 pan, or whatever you have that is equivalent, and bake until done, at 350. Keep an eye on the cake, I didn't notice the time. Sorry again...probably 30 min or so.
