Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup unbleached flour

1 1/4 cups whole-wheat pastry flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup carob powder

OR cocoa powder -- * see note

1/2 cup Sucanat

1/2 cup unrefined corn oil

3/4 cup water

1 1/4 cups honey

OR maple syrup

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 

Preheat oven to 350°F.

 

Sift the two flours together, along with the baking soda, salt and carob powder.

Stir in the Sucanat. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oil, water,

honey, cider vinegar and vanilla until well blended. Then add the dry

ingredients, mixing at medium speed until well blended (about 2 minutes).

 

Lightly oil and flour the cake pans. Divide the batter equally between the two

pans and bake the cakes for about 20 minutes, or until done (a toothpick comes

out of the center clean). Cool the cakes for about 10 minutes, then remove from

the pans and cool completely. Frost the cakes with an icing of your choice.

 

Yields: two 8-inch cakes.

 

*NOTE*

You can use cocoa powder in place of carob, if you want to make a chocolate

cake.
