Carrot (or Zucchini) Cake
By Hklbrries
I clipped this recipe from an Alaskan newspaper (probably the Homer News) sometime back in the 1980s
- 1 1/2 cups oil*
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar**
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups white flour***
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 3 cups carrots, grated (or grated zucchini)
- Melted butter can be substituted for the oil.
- 1 3/4 cups of honey can be substituted for the 2 cups of white sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar, but remember, you're adding another liquid here and will have to adjust the amount of flour to get the right texture.
- Whole-wheat flour can be substituted.
- Note: The substitutions are not recommended for the inexperienced baker.
