1 1/2 C flour
3/4 C sugar
2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
1 egg
1/4 C applesauce
1/3 C vegetable oil
1 1/2 C finely shredded carrots--lightly packed
1/4 C chopped pecans
2 t lemon zest -- finely grated
Adjust rack to lower 1/3 of oven and preheat to 350°F. Spray an 8x4 pan with non stick spray. In a large bowl, sift or whisk briefly the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, applesauce and oil, then stir in the carrots, pecans and zest. Pour carrot mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir until all ingredients are combined. Batter will be quite stiff. Spoon into prepared pan. Bake 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack. Wrap in plastic and store at room temp overnight.
