Cake!

Carrot cake 1.5 

Like many triathletes I have a passion for baking, however I don't have a passion for piling on the pounds that I have just burn off over the course of some agonizing training session. Therefore i am on a quest to try and develop some healthy cake that isn't cake alternatives. I have made about 5 so far, with mixed success. The best has been this carrot cake;

Ingredients
500g Buckwheat flour (this is incredibly difficult to find unless you live in some sort of metropolis of health food shops, so spelt flour will do, or i'm sure brown baking flour would work fine too, but the point of the buckwheat is it is high protein)
75g crushed walnuts
3 grated carrots
5 tbsp sultanas
zest 1 orange
juice 1 orange
3 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp all spice or mixed spice 
1 grated apple
50 ml rapeseed oil or melted coconut butter

Method - eassssssssssssssssssy
Preheat oven to 170 degrees
Mix everything together apart from the orange juice. Once everything is mixed, and your cake tin is oiled and ready then add the orange juice, mix and stick in cake tin, stick in oven and cook for 45-60 mins

The reason the orange juice goes in last is it reacts with the bicarbonate of soda and baking powder, releasing bubbles of carbon dioxide. you want to maximize the amount of bubbles IN the cake, and not have them all escape while you are still mixing away.
