This is very much like the Chocolate Cake, but it is more healthified.

Carob Cake

Preheat oven 350 degrees & grease and flour two round layer pans or a sheet-cake pan.

Ingredients

2 and 1/4 cups Flour: whole wheat flour
1 and 2/3 cups Fructose (I would sub Agave Nectar)
2/3 cup Carob Powder
1 and 1/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 and 1/4 cups Water
1/2 to 3/4 cups Canola Oil or other vegetable oil
2 eggs-equivalent of egg replacer
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
All-fruit jam and nuts for topping, if you wish

Procedure

Measure all ingredients except toppings into a large bowl.
Mix together, then beat for three minutes.
Divide the batter between layer pans, or pour into sheet pan.
Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. You can serve plain or top with slightly warmed all-fruit jam, thinned with apple or white grape juice if necessary.

You can sprinkle with chopped or slivered nuts.
