Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup grated carrot
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 1/2 cups very hot water

Equipment

  • Grater
  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and spices. Set aside.
  3. In a smaller bowl, stir applesauce, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and grated carrot together to combine. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix to create a thick batter.
  4. Pour into a small 8-inch rectangular casserole dish with high sides.
  5. In a separate bowl, stir sugar, brown sugar, and walnuts together. Spread over the top of the batter evenly.
  6. Pour hot water over the entire thing (without stirring!) and bake for 40-50 minutes or once the middle is set. Be sure to place on a baking sheet in case it bubbles over.
  7. Cool 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with more nuts and cheesecake ice cream.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
  • Freezing: Can you freeze this? Yes! Freeze it before baking for up to three months. Just bake from frozen, adding extra time.
  • Variations: Substitute chopped apples for a different fruit flavor, or add raisins for extra sweetness.
  • Nuts: Use your favorite nuts; pecans or almonds work beautifully in this recipe for a delightful crunch.
  • Ice Cream Pairing: Consider serving with cinnamon or butter pecan ice cream for a heavenly combination!
