Carrot Cake - Baby's First Cake!

This is moist carrot cake that is perfect for baby's first birthday...just frost with plenty of whipped cream and let your little one dig in with both hands! Stew liked it and he claims to hate carrot cake. :O) I served it un frosted but you could lightly dust it with powdered sugar to dress it up a little but still remain "healthy".

1 cup cooked mashed carrots (or one medium sized can of carrots mashed)
2 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2.0 lightly grease 8 x 8 baking pan
3.) beat carrots, eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla with electric mixer.
4.) Add flour, cinnamon, soda, and baking powder into carrot mixture and beat until thoroughly mixed.
5.) Bake for 35 – 40 minutes. Cool and serve.

Yield: 8 x8 pan; a two inch pieces provides 150 calories
