Healthy Vegetarian Carrot Snack Cake

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 cups carrots, grated
• 1 cup nuts, chopped, pecans if possible
• 1/2 cup coconut flakes, dry unsweetened
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground aniseed
• 2 big bananas, ripe and mashed and beaten until fluffy
• 1/2 cup peanut oil
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, loosely packed

1. Turn on the oven, set to 350.
2. Mix flour, carrots, nuts, coconut, raisins and baking soda in a big bowl.
3. Mix anise, bananas, oil and brown sugar in a smaller bowl.
4. Add wet ingredient mixture to dry ingredient mixture, and stir gently but thoroughly. Add some milk, a bit at a time, if the batter is too thick to stir comfortably (it should be thick, though, not runny!).
5. Pour into large buttered cake pan.
6. Bake 35-40 minutes, until toothpick or knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
7. Allow to cool in pan, and cut into squares. Refrigerate if you want it to last longer. Enjoy!
