Juicy, grainy and healthy autumn cake. ( of course, you can bake it in winter or summer, too).
But sweet carrots, tart apples make wonderful and moisture and juicy combination.
You can replace sugar to unrefined sugar or honey and get a healthier result. But my recipe is from the seventies. From the time when people used sugar and butter 🙂

I’ve never seen such a generous amount of apples/carrots in a cake recipe! Sounds fun though, and healthy.

Am not a baker but this sounds too moreish not to make 🙂 ! And for a ;cake’ it is indeed a very modern version – one cannot bake without some fat and sugar and your amounts are most moderate/ I am still reading favourite recipes with over a cup of sugar and about three cms of whipped cream on top . . . OK for one’s birthday I guess if one is a sweet tooth !!
