I have been making this veggie & fruit packed cake since my daughter's first birthday. It is super moist and full of good things for you. It freezes well so you can make it ahead of time or make cupcakes and freeze for snacks. Ingredients:
4 eggs |
4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled |
1/2 cup yogurt |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 bananas, ripe & mashed |
2 carrots, grated |

2 medium tart apples, grated (such as granny smith) |
1/2 cup raisins |
1/4 cup desiccated coconut |
1 1/2 cups white flour |
1 1/2 cups wheat flour |
1/2 cup wheat germ (optional) |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
3 teaspoons cinnamon, ground |
1 teaspoon ginger, ground |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground |

3. Beat eggs well in large bowl, mix in butter, yogurt, vanilla and sugar.
4. Add banana, mix well.
5. Stir in carrot, zucchini, apples, coconut and raisins.
6. Sift together dry ingredients in separate bowl breaking up all lumps.
