What a delightful cake! I actually just made the cake (without the nuts on top) in my sheet pan. Then layered it in my loaf pan with chopped hazlenuts and a mixture of powdered sucanat, sour cream, and apple butter. It was SOOOOO good! Sour cream and sucanat frosting with chocolate cake is one of my favorite combinations right now. So, I am glad to find an even healthier chocolate cake recipe to do it with.

Hi Lindsay,
I’m curious with soaking, is the object to make sure it doesn’t dry out over the course of 12-24hrs? I just made the raspberry muffins the other day, and soaked my ww flour, but it was super dry when I came back to it to add the other ingredients. I ended up adding some water–but did I hurt the soaking process? I live in Denver, so it is very dry here. Any thoughts?

No, it is not soaked. Just uses whole wheat flour…of course, you could use sprouted wheat as well.

This is a great recipe. I found this site by googling recipes using sprouted flour. I used my sprouted spelt flour and added chocolate chips, put in round 9″ deep cake pan, baked for 45 minutes. It turned out sooooooooooooo good. I will definitely make this again. Thank you for thinking of others and sharing your gift with us. God Bless you.

LIndsay- I have been using your recipe index over the past 6 months. I have worked through making a ton of your recipes, and my, my- they are so yummy. I currently have this in the oven (doubled the recipe because it is so good). Thanks for glorifying the Lord through your website, what a blessing you have been to our family! I really appreciate you sacrificing your time and effort to bless other families (like ours) that you have never even personally met. What a christlike, servant heart. May the Lord bless you and your family this day!

Ok, after cleaning the oven yesterday, the mess of the cake left in the pan, part gooey, part crisp, looked so good, the kids and I tried the crumbs. It was really good! So we tried it again this morning – but in a bigger pan! It turned out terrific! We will definitely be keeping this recipe, but will always bake it in my bigger 9X9 pan, and would recommend that anyone else with that might have this problem try that also.

Thanks for a great recipe that my kids get up early for!

I did the same thing this morning…my kids were so disappointed to smell their breakfast! And since I had read your reply last night before baking, I was certain to measure accurately! It just rose too big, spilled over the top and what was left in the pan was a uncooked gooey mess after 30 minutes. Would sure like to try this, but not sure how to try again???

Thank goodness for a self-cleaning oven! But we will be leaving the house because of the stench!

I do have a more natural carrot cake recipe. I’ll try emailing it to you.

Lindsay,

I love your recipes, use them frequently, and while I know you don’t do many desserts, my daughter wants a carrot cake (shaped like her new pet bunny, Carrots) for her 5th birthday…but I don’t want to send these sweet children home with poor sugar choices in their bellies and don’t want the leftovers in my house from that…so, do you have any recipes or suggestions for a more natural carrot cake…can I substitute rapadura straight across or rapadura/honey? And if I use hard red wheat, will I need to combine it with soft white to make a fluffy cake…I’m not a cake-maker, have always gotten away with pies and cheesecakes for birthdays, so I’m a bit intimidated by the thought of a cake for her birthday! Any ideas are much appreciated!
Thanks so much!
