Hi so I've made wacky cake before in vanilla and chocolate but I'm craving carrot cake. Could I add the spices and carrots and raisins for like a carrot cake into the wacky cake?
I've heard of chocolate and beetroot going together...do you think chocolate and carrot would?
I think I would just make a carrot cake, using a regular CC recipe. Cream cheese frosting!
im looking for a recipe that uses no eggs, milk and butter. That's why I wanted to use the wacky cake recipe I have before.
You could try adding a grated carrot to this simple applesauce cake recipe from the Great Depression. The recipe is written as I found it. I really can't condone putting chocolate frosting on this cake!
I cut the recipe in half and bake it in a 8"X8" pan.
Aunt Pearl's Applesauce Cake
1 cup sugar
1 Tbls. cinnamon
1 teas. cloves
2 teas. baking soda
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup oil
2 cups applesauce
1 cup raisins
Nuts if desired.
Mix sugar, cinnamon and cloves. Stir soda into applesauce and let foam in bowl. Add flour, oil and raisins. Add nuts if desired.
Bake at 350 about 45 minutes. We use a 9x 13 pan, ungreased. Also, if you mix the raisins into the flour when you add them, they will be coated and won't all sink to the bottom of the pan We never frosted this cake. It is very dense and moist. Dh's family has the same recipe and they always frost it with chocolate icing. This is what dh's b-day cake is every year.
You should experiment with the spices used in carrot cake (and the carrots) see if you like it!

Thanks for the update, glad it worked for you!
Hope you will be able to spend some time with us!
Aunt bea Made the applesauce cake in 8x8 pan size and use dried cranberries instead of raisins as that is what I had on hand.
GREAT !!!!! I just sprinkled it with confectionary sugar. I think a cream cheese or even a maple frosting would be great.
Its a keeper. thanks
