Dear Turkey,

I've done this before

But this one is a little

Bit more exciting

Black Sesame Carrot Cake

(makes 1 loaf, adapted from here)

Ingredients:

- 1.5 c flour (I used white, but you can use whole wheat)

- 1.5 t baking powder

- 1 t salt

- 1 t cinnamon

- 1 t ground ginger

- 1 scant t nutmeg

- 3/4 c sugar

- 1/3 c brown sugar 

- 1/2 c canola oil

- 1/3 c unsweetened applesauce

- 1/4 c milk of your choice (I used walnut)

- 1/2 t vanilla

- 3 medium carrots, coarsely grated

- 2-3 T black sesame seeds or poppy seeds

Instructions:

- Generously oil a loaf pan.

- In a big bowl, combine the wet ingredients and sugars. Stir in dry ingredients (save the sesame seeds!).

- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and generously sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

- Bake at 350 F for 60-70 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Cool completely and remove from pan. This is best on day 2. 

Enjoy,
