1/2 cup margarine
3/4 cup brown sugar; use 1 cup if your carrots aren't sweet
2 eggs; or 4 egg whites
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup hot water; or juice
4 cups carrots; shredded

Cream the margarine and sugar. Beat in eggs.

Mix the flour, baking powder and salt.

Dissolve the soda in the hot water.

Add flour mixture alternately with the soda mixture to the creamed mixture. Mix in the carrots and soda-water. Spoon into a greased or Pammed baking dish (about 8"x12").

Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes.

Poster's Notes:
Part or all of the margarine may be replaced by applesauce to lower the fat content. The texture will be heavier, but it will still taste great. Freezes well.
