Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour wholewheat
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup margarine low-fat
1 cup raisins, seedless mixed dark and light
1/2 cup almonds chopped
1/2 cup hazelnuts (filberts) chopped
1 each orange zest finely grated
1 3/4 cups carrots grated
1/2 teaspoon allspice mixed baking spices
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon ground
1/2 cup artifical sweetener granulated
2 large eggs beaten
3 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons brandy or rum , optional

Directions

Heat oven to 350F.

Mix flour, baking powder and salt together and rub in the margarine until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Add fruit, nuts, orange rind, carrots and spices and mix well.

Mix the sweetener into the eggs and beat into the dry ingredients.

Add enough orange juice to make a soft dough.

Put the mixture into 8 inch round or 7x7 inch nonstick cakepan and bake for 45-60 min.

(or use larger pan and reduce cooking time) When ready, the cake should be firm to the touch and a toothpick should come out clean.

Cool in the cake pan.

Turn out upside down, make a few toothpick holes in the bottom and spoon in any leftover orange juice and alcohol if using.

Store in an airtight container.

Suggested icing is made with apples and cottage cheese.
