2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

2 tsp ground cinnamon

3 large eggs, beaten

3 large eggs, beaten

2 cups grated carrots (4-6 medium carrots)

3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup butter

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup honey

3/4 cup honey

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp baking soda

2 cup chopped apples

1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350'F. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and 2 tsp cinnamon in a medium blowl.

Place butter, honey, and chopped apples in a large bowl - microwave for 45 seconds to soften, then mix well. Add milk, beaten eggs, and grated carrots to the honey/butter/apple mixture.

Fold in dry ingredients and stir just until blended. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top springs back when touched lightly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on wire rack.

After cake is cool, prepare frosting and finish cake. For frosting, place 1/3 cup honey in microwave for 20 seconds to make very runny. Blend softened cream cheese, microwaved honey, and cinnamon together with a mixer until smooth an creamy. Spread frosting over the cooled cake and enjoy.
