  • 1 1/2 tsp.
    ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp.

    eggs
  • 2 tsp.
    vanilla extract

Directions

Set oven to 350 degrees. Toast the nuts lightly in oven or frying pan. Watch them carefully so they don’t burn. Once cool, chop them and keep a few for decorating the top of the cake. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Combine both flours, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add carrots and nuts and stir.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In another bowl, mix together the oil, BeeMaid Honey, milk, eggs and vanilla until combined.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pour the honey mixture into the bowl with the flours. Mix just until combined. Divide the batter between two greased 9 inch cake pans. Bake the cakes on the middle rack for around 45 or 50 minutes. Cake should spring back when touched and use a toothpick in the center (should come out clean with no batter). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
