| Cooking Instructions: |

Mix dry ingredients in medium to large bowl. Add yogurt and beaten eggs then add carrots, pineapple and walnuts. Pour into a ring tin (I have tried other tins,
however the cake tends to cook more evenly in the ring tin.) and bake at 350 for approx 45 minutes.

I have made this recipe many times but I have also used the following substitutes for a different favour:
FRUIT :SPICE
Pears : Ginger
Cherries :Allspice
Apple : Cinnamon with a pinch of ground cloves
Banana : Nutmeg or Cinnamon
Apricot: Cinnamon * I also only use about 1/2 cup of the vanilla yogurt and add 1/2 cup of unsweetened apricot nectar
