recipe: carrot cake

Well, it's technically carrot cake, but T'wings and I call it carrot lembas - because, like lembas, it's immensely sustaining and will keep you full for a ridiculously long time. It's modified from this recipe to include more protein and complex carbs, and it already had a diverse set of sugars and fats, so a slice of it really is like a meal. It's not really a good dessert in the after-dinner sense, because it's got too much protein, but it's a great snack or breakfast.

I make it in quantities sufficient to use up most of my CSA carrots and to last a good long time - the recipe below will make two 9x13 cakes (or a tall 9x13 cake and 8x8 cake). If you just want to try it out, you may want to halve the recipe.
