Most people that know me, know that I like to indulge in the odd spot of cooking and baking from time to time and I came across this yummy wholewheat carrot cake recipe on Nina’s Kitchen blog on Food24.com

5ml ground cinnamon
5ml ground cloves
2ml salt
300ml vegetable oil

250ml crushed cooked pineapple(I use tinned)

250ml chopped pecan nuts
375ml sugar

Now, mix carrots,pineapple, nuts and sugar together and then mix with flour and egg mixture.
Pour mixture into prepared tin and bake for 1 hour or until skewer comes out clean.
