You can make a lot of muffins with this recipe too. Just bake them and freeze to have them on hand for awhile. Simply pop them into a micro for a few seconds or still frozen into a lunch box when ready to use.

How To Make gingered carrot cake, diabetic & vegetarian

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and lightly flour either two 10-inch round pans or one 9-by-13-inch rectangular pan.

2
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and mace into a medium bowl.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, oil and orange zest. Stir in the carrot shreds.
4
Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Finally, add the nuts and dried fruit. Pour the batter into the prepared pans.
5
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, usually 30 to 40 minutes. As soon as the middle no longer looks different than the edges and begins to crack a bit, remove the pans from the oven to preserve the moistness of the cake.
6
fully cool and frost as and if desired.
