granulated sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Coconut sugar is less processed, while brown sugar is often cheaper.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: applesauce

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Applesauce reduces fat while adding moisture.

Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C) and prepare an 18×18cm pan with parchment paper.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and mixed spice.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined.

Fold in the grated carrots, walnuts, and black raisins.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool completely before frosting.

To make the frosting, mix the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
