Oh My Carrot Cake

I started here:
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/moist-carrot-cake/detail.aspx

2 c. all purpose flour
2 t. baking powder
1 1/2 t. salt
2 1/2 t. cinnamon
4 eggs
1 1/2 c. vegetable oil
2 c. white sugar
2 3/4 c. shredded carrots
1 (8oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
3/4 c. chopped walnuts
1 c. flaked coconut

I cut the recipe in half and still made 12 muffins.

Here's my recipe:

Mix together:
1/2 c. unbleached flour
1/2 c. whole wheat pastry flour
1 t. baking powder
3/4 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 1/4 t. cinnamon

Separately, mix:
2 eggs
1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce (one of the single serve containers)
1/4 c. olive oil
1/4 c. honey (maybe a bit more?)
1/4 c. white sugar
3 shredded carrots
1/2 c. coconut
walnuts

Combine two mixtures, bake at 325 for 35 minutes.

Verdict: this is a keeper.
