Summer is a time for gathering, and we think you should let your guests eat cake! This week we are sharing a light and tasty desert - Apple Carrot Cake. This recipe is so easy to make and you most likely you already have all these ingredients in your house.

Perfectly paired with Grenache Rosé. Enjoy! 

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 ½ cups carrots, grated
• 1 ½ cups apples, chopped
• 1 cup walnuts (omit or substitute with a nut of your preference)

Directions:

• Combine sugar, eggs, vanilla, and oil.
• Sift together dry ingredients and stir into liquid mixture.
• Add carrots, apples, and nuts. Pour batter into 9 x 13-inch pan and bake in 325℉ oven for 60 to 70 minutes. Test to make sure it is done with toothpick.
• Frost with cream cheese frosting if desired. I like to skip the frosting and just dust with powdered sugar.
