This weekend for an impromptu Memorial Day potluck, we revisited our carrot cake recipe, and this time my daughter got to help make it! Our organic carrot cake was the hit of the party, and it is a great way to use up those funky looking carrots from the garden.

Organic Carrot Cake

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Use butter or oil to grease and flour the bottom of a 13″ x 9″ x 2″ glass pan. Beat with an electric mixer for one minute:

  • 1 1/2 cups organic sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs (or egg replacer)

Add and beat for another minute:

  • 2 cups organic flour (can use a mixture of whole wheat and unbleached white)
