EGGLESS CARROT AND HONEY ROCK CAKES.

I have been reading about food rationing through World War 2 when single people and families were given food rations on presentation of food coupons to survive on from week to week. I have recreated the recipe with the inclusion of shredded carrots in place of apples, quinoa flakes in place of oatmeal, golden syrup replacing applesauce. I will be preparing this recipe again, it is perfect in individual cake form but I'm sure it would do well made as a slice. This recipe is versatile...make it your own. Ingredients..... 56gm of shredded carrot, 182gm of plain flour, 126gm of quinoa flakes/ oatmeal, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, 3 tsp pf baking powder, 60gm of golden syrup, 200 gm of honey, 2 tbs od canola oil, 60 gm of granulated nuts. Icing sugar for dusting ( optional). Preheat your oven to 180 deg C. Grease a loaf pan , I used aluminium cases. Using your hands mix together the golden syrup, flour, salt, quinoa flakes/ oatmeal, ground cinnamon, baking powder, nuts, honey and oil. The mixture should be well combined. The mixture will be coarse. Place the mixture into the prepared loaf pan or into patty pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes ( if using a loaf pan , 20 minutes if making patty cakes), or until a knife comes out clean when inserted into the cake. Can be decorated with a sprinkle of icing sugar if you desire.
