THE FANTABULOUS WHOLE WHEAT CARROT CAKE
This cake is pretty amazing. It's made without refined flour or sugar, but the taste and texture are sublime: it's not heavy at all. Besides that, there are plenty of carrots, nuts, and pineapple mixed in. Carrot cake is one of my favorites, and it's even better when I can actually feel good about eating it! :-) Frost with a cream cheese frosting (spreading apricot preserves between the two layers is good too). Prep time does not include grating carrots.

Steps:
- Combine dry ingredients.
- Add oil, honey, and eggs; mix well.
- Stir in remaining 3 ingredients.
- Bake in two greased 9-inch cake layer pans for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Cool in pans several minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack.
- You can also bake this in a 9x13 pan as a sheet cake -- just as good, and easier than frosting a layer cake!

OLD FASHIONED CARROT CAKE
This is a sweet, heavy delicious cake that you will never fail on making. I can't keep it in my house for any more than 24 hours... Everyone eats it as soon as it's ready. The kids love this recipe for a school snack too, it's so heavy and filling for a recess snack! You can add pineapple, raisins and/or walnuts if you like... I don't!

- In a large bowl mix sugar, flour, baking soda, salt & cinnamon (stir together).
- In a medium bowl mix oil, eggs & carrots. (blend on medium with mixer).
- Combined wet & dry ingredients and mix till all ingredients are wet (Blending is not required).
- Bake 50 min, check with knife. Cake should be perfect at 50 minute.
- Blend cream cheese till smooth.

- Add icing sugar to preference of thickness. I like the whole 2 cups, sometimes a little bit more.
- Refrigerate icing till cake cools (30-40 min) Then spread evenly over cake & enjoy!
WHOLE WHEAT CARROT CAKE WITH CREAMY ORANGE ICING (LOW FAT)
Many carrot cakes call for as much as a cup of oil, 4 eggs, 2 cups of sugar. But all that oil isn't necessary for this moist, delicious cake. I love this low fat cake. Use Whole Wheat PASTRY flour found in health food stores. You can use whole wheat flour but the cake will be denser. I also sifted my all purpose flour.
