• 2 cups (500 mL) whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon (5 mL) baking powder
• 1 teaspoon (5 mL) baking soda
• 1 teaspoon (5 mL) cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon (5 mL) ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) ground cloves

• 1/3 cup (75 mL) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
• 1 cup (250 mL) shredded carrots

Preheat oven to 350°F (180° C). Butter a square cake pan. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, then stir in dates and orange juice concentrate. Turn off heat and allow to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, then stir in carrots, pecans, and raisins until just combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes
