Carrot cake with everything

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, October 26, 2022, In : big cakes 

There are no less than 9 recipes for carrot cake on Bake Club - it's a perennial favourite for sure. This one ticks all the boxes for vegetables, nuts, fresh fruit, dried fruit, spices, healthiness and it's a double decker - all topped with the essential cream cheese icing. It's from Allyson Gofton's The Baker's Companion (Penguin Random House, 2019).


4 eggs

2 c grated carrot

1 3/4 c caster sugar

1/2 c raisins, plumped up by soaking in water or liqueur for half an hour

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, January 3, 2022, In : big cakes

Healthy carrot cake

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, June 20, 2020, In : big cakes 


I came across a great book called Natural Baking by Carolin Strothe and Sebastian Keitel (DK, 2019). They use seasonal fruit and vegetables, natural sweeteners and healthier flours in their bakes. I've made many carrot cakes before, but it was nice to include all these wholesome ingredients and feed a large playground playdate with 7 kids and 4 adults.


2 eggs

1/2 c natural liquid sweetener (I used a maple and rice syrup mix)

75ml mild vegetable oil

1/4 tsp black cardamom seeds (or 1/2 tsp ground ...

Beetroot carrot crackers

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, February 16, 2019, In : savoury 

These raw crackers are pretty tasty. Great by themselves or with dips and spreads. It's from The Unbakery by Megan May (Beatnik, 2014). You'll need a dehydrator - the crispier the better.

1 cup sunflower seeds, soaked 4-6 hours
1 cup sunflower seeds, soaked 4-6 hours
1 cup flaxseed, ground (I use a coffee grinder)
1/4 c flaxseed

Quinoa carrot breakfast cookies

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, August 2, 2018, In : cookies 


Cooking 1 cup of quinoa 'seeds' yields a lot of quinoa! Enough to make 2 different batches of sweet cookies. These full-o-goodness chunky breakfast cookies are adapted from Healthful Pursuit. It's a bonus bake in my list of 26 alphabetical bakes!

Makes 18 cookies
1 1/2 c cooked quinoa

Hazelnut carrot cookies

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, March 22, 2017, In : cookies 

Hazelnuts! Yummy but expensive little things, aren't they? That's why I don't often bake with them, but I had half a cup in the cupboard for some such occasion. I added some diced dried fruit to the mix to sweeten the package for the 4-year-old. She turned her nose up at them, however. Oh well, more for me. These fall into the brutti ma buoni style of biscuit - ugly but good.

Makes about 20

1 c spelt flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c rice syrup
1/4 c almond butter (...

Brilliant breakfast muffins

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, November 30, 2015, In : small cakes 

My little baby girl used to love porridge - one of her first words, one of her daily favourite foods. But at 3 and a half she's a bit more picky and some days breakfast is a scant affair and I'm left to eat the porridge she didn't touch. As I was pondering this dilemma I came across Nadia Lim's super breakfast muffins in her Good Food Cook Book (Random House, 2013). I used her recipe as a base but reduced the sugar content by 1 whole cup; I don't think you need it with the dates and banana in...

Raw carrot cake

Posted by Bake Club on Sunday, November 8, 2015, In : big cakes 

I’ve been out of commission for a whole month thanks to a perforated ear drum  (yes – ow!) but this weekend I was well enough to do some cooking and baking. It gave me so much pleasure and I’m starting to feel human again! I started with making hummus with canned chickpeas, then made a meringue from the chickpea brine (aquafaba meringue). Then I decided on a ‘major’ project – raw carrot cake from Little Bird’s Unbakery cookbook. I usually go for the cheesecakes at...

Jumble muffins

Posted by Bake Club on Sunday, September 1, 2013, In : small cakes 

By Frances
I've called these jumble muffins cos they're just a jumble of whatever I had to hand in an effort to make my daughter some quick mini muffins that are free of gluten and sugar. We're not GF but it's good to have some food without.
1/2 c oat flour (I use the coffee grinder to grind)
1/2 c sunflower seed flour
1/2 c dessicated coconut
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 c carrot pulp leftover from the juicer

Ginny's Little & Friday carrot cake

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, August 27, 2013, In : big cakes 

A friend told me that the Little & Friday carrot cake, which I had never tried, was amazing. When I looked at the recipe, I saw it contained dates, which I don't like, so I tweaked it slightly, to accommodate the contents of my house... including using purple instead of orange carrots...

Ingredients
1/2 cup walnuts
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp ground ginger
4 eggs
1 cup oil
1 cup brown sugar

Frances makes oaty muffins with stevia

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, June 24, 2013, In : small cakes 

I wanted to make a sugar-free snack for my 1-year-old that's freezable too. So I adapted a couple of recipes to make this jumble of mini muffins. I used powdered stevia, which has an acquired taste - it's also green. I think stevia would work best in chocolate baking to disguise the colour. I'm entering this recipe into this month's Sweet New Zealand, hosted by Couscous & Consciousness.

Dry ingreds
1 c wholemeal spelt flour
1 c rolled oats
1 Tbs baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Frances's carrot pulp crackers

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, July 4, 2012, In : savoury 

OK, these aren't baked, they're dried raw in the dehydrator. It's my new favourite thing. This excellent recipe is adapted from the Foods for Long Life blog. All this time I've been chucking the pulp from my juicer, now I'm freezing it to use later in crackers or baking.
There are 2 batches of crackers pictured here. I used carrot pulp in one and carrot/beetroot/apple in the other.

1/2 cup flaxseeds
