My baby turns ONE

I don't know if it's special enough but it is clean and yummy, slow cooker carrot cake


Ingredients
olive oil cooking spray
1 1/4 cups all purpose spelt flour
1/3 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup unsweetened sultana raisins (golden raisins)
1 large egg white
1 tsp flaxseed, ground, mixed with 2 tsp water
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup buttermilk or low-fat plain yogurt
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
4 oz carrot, peeled and finely shredded (about 1/2 cup packed)

cheese honey drizzle ingredients
1/4 cup cream cheese
1 Tbsp raw organic honey
1 lemon, finely zested and juiced, divided (Dr. J thinks this is to much lemon and not enough honey

Instructions:
Cut parchment to fit bottom and sides of stoneware insert. (worked perfect with my 3 quart slow cooker...might not be enough for a big slow cooker). Spray inserts or dish with cooking spray and line with prepared parchment.

Place flour, coconut, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl and whisk lightly to combine. Stir in raisins.

In a separate large bowl, combine egg white and flax-water mixture and whisk until bubbles form. Add honey, applesauce, buttermilk, oil and vanilla and whisk until well blended. Stir in dry ingredients, until just mixed. Fold in carrot and pour mixture into prepared stoneware dish. Cover entire top of slow cooker with three layers of paper towel and secure with lid. This will catch the extra condensation in the slow cooker and prevent the cake from getting too moist. Bake for two hours on low or until a knife inserted in centre of cake comes out dry. Remove stoneware dish and place on cooling rack until cool.

Slice cake into ten equal portions, about three ounces each and serve warm or at room temperature with one tablespoon Cream Cheese Honey Drizzle.

Cream Cheese Honey Drizzle
In a small bowl, heat cream cheese on high in microwave until slightly warm, about 10 to 15 seconds. Remove from microwave and use a rubber spatula to stir honey into cream cheese until smooth. Add pinch lemon zest and two teaspoons lemon juice and continue to stir. Slowly add two tablespoons water, a bit at a time, until mixture is consistency of thick cream.

Calories for 3 oz cake and 1 tbsp drizzle is 190.

Windex works well too.

I make all my cakes from scratch.. they may not be "clean" per se but they are better than the mixes. I just made my 6 year old a rainbow cake from Brown Eyed Baker with a sturdy whipped cream frosting from AllRecipes.

From the parent of a child with a peanut allergy, be careful with peanut butter if your child hasn't had it yet.. you don't want a reaction at the birthday party.

I make a gluten free carrot cake that is super yummy. not sure it counts as clean, but you cant tell its gluten free at all!
