Mix dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.

In a small bowl, combine oil, eggs, and applesauce and then add to the dry mixture, stirring until well blended. Stir in the carrots and raisins. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch tube pan.

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for five minutes then turn the cake out onto the rack to cool.

Hi, I’m Isabel!

Welcome to Beloved Recipe Box!

When a carefully made feast is prepared, we tend to linger. And these days, sitting down together allows us to dig deeper into how we can be more fully present for the planet and each other in these crazy times.

This group of recipes are tried and true. As recipe requests have increased over the years (and my original recipe cards became dog-eared and food stained), it was clear it was time to create a larger recipe box for them here.

You won’t find any ads on these recipe cards. Just bring a smile, feel welcome and enjoy!!
