 Wild carrots are especially good in carrot cake because they
 provide more flavour than commercial carrots do, and they're still
 crunchy after cooking.

 Unlike the usual cakes, in this recipe you add the icing before you
 bake the cake.

 Set the oven @ 350°F/175°C.

 To make the icing: In a food processor, combine the icing
 ingredients and process until smooth.

 To make the cake: Mix together the flour, arrowroot, ground
 flaxseed, spices, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.

 In a blender, combine the apple juice, corn oil, lime juice,
 lecithin granules, and liquid stevia and process until smooth. Mix
 the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to
 overmix. Stir in the raisins and grated wild carrots.

 Divide the batter evenly between two oiled 12" round cake pans.
 Pour the icing over the cake batter in each pan. Bake the cakes
 until the bottom of each one is lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
 Let the cakes cool on wire racks before serving.
