How to Make Baby Birthday Cake
- Combine 2 cups peeled and sliced carrots with 1 cup + 2 tablespoons apple juice concentrate in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
- Puree the cooked carrots and apple juice concentrate with ½ cup raisins in a food processor until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 9-inch square cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup wheat germ, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup vegetable oil.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the carrot and raisin puree until just combined.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting (optional).
