Carrot Honey Cake

4 eggs
1 1/2 cups honey
1 cup oil
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
3 cups grated carrots
1 cup walnuts (optional)
powdered sugar

Beat eggs. Add honey and oil and mix well. Add dry ingredients. Stir
in carrots and nuts if used.

Grease and flour a 9 inch by 13 inch pan. Pour batter into pan and smooth it out.

Bake at 350F for 45 to 50 minutes.

CUPCAKES - (in liners) Bake at 350F for 25 minutes. Cool.

Just before serving, sprinkle liberally with sifted powdered sugar.

YIELD: 3 1/2 dozen cupcakes

*********************
I halved the recipe and it made 12 cupcakes.
Intead of egg I subbed milled flax seed. (1 T milled flaxseed to 3 T water)

I was going to use applesauce instead of oil but didn't want to experiment with what the right amount would have been. This is breakfast tomorrow.

Tallulah really liked the cupcake. She had one tonight. I think next time I'll use half applesauce and coconut oil.
