[2 SP per Serving] We have been looking for a cake for our little girl to smash next month. I may have found it in this cake. I'll be making this cake this weekend to see if my daughter will like it!
Information
- Makes: 1 x 8" cake or about 12 cupcakes
- Source: Things for Boys
Ingredients
1¾ cup | whole wheat flour | 19 SP |
3 tsp | baking powder | 0 SP |
1 tsp | ground nutmeg | 0 SP |
1 tsp | ground cinnamon | 0 SP |
¾ cup | dates, stones removed and finely chopped | 0 SP |
½ cup | golden seedless raisins | 9 SP |
1 cup | carrots, shredded | 0 SP |
2 Tbsp | fat-free skim milk | 0 SP |
2 large | eggs, lightly beaten | 0 SP |
½ cup | regular soft tofu, to replace butter or margarine | 0 SP |
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°. Lightly grease an 8" round cake tin (or muffin tins) and line the bottom with baking paper.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and ground spices together. Give it a good stir to make sure it’s evenly combined. Stir through the dates.
- Combine the tofu, raisins, carrot and milk. Add to the dry ingredients and mix gently until evenly combined. You should have a very thick mixture. Add the eggs and give it a good stir.
- Spoon into the prepared tin and bake in the oven for 45 – 60 minutes (about 30 mins for cupcakes) until done when tested with a skewer.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack, removing the baking paper, to cool completely.
- (optional) Decorate with whipped cream is a great frosting if you’re using this for a smash cake. It can be tinted to any colour and is much better for your baby then buttercream or fondant.
