Flax Seed Carrot Cake
Janice C
"A sin-free, delicious, and fruity version of the ever-popular carrot cake. The flax seed meal may be omitted, but it can easily be found in health food stores. This cake is best served chilled because of its moist quality."

I wish we could give 1/2 stars because 3 seems too low and 4 seems a little too much. My boyfriend didn't eat a second bite and that is rare because he's usually easy to please. Healthy or not...

This is a great way to incorporate healthy foods into a tasty treat. I followed the recipe to the T except for I used the whole can of crushed pineapple. I made muffins and they were done in 25...

WOW! I love it! It is more bread-y than cake-y, but that didn't stop my husband from smearing cream cheese frosting all over a slice and devouring it!! I can't wait to pop a slice into the to...

A cake it's not, but it makes a really excellent breakfast bread. I omitted the walnuts because I didn't have any, and used 1/2 cup of golden raisins.

Yes, I agree it isn't cake but luckily I was looking for a high fiber bread that didn't have an extreme amount of sugar and fat. I have made this many times. I cut it up and freeze then micro ...

Baked em at 350 for 20 minutes and they came out great, if you want more flavor, simply add more of the flavor you want. Its not difficult.
