Carrot Cake w/ Juicing Fiber

Make this delicious, moist cake using three full cups of the vegetable fiber left over from juicing carrots or a combination! I always use a lot of carrots along with green apples and many other green vegetables when I juice and that seems to be enough carrot leftovers to call this carrot cake. If you don't use carrots you may need to rename the cake. I also enjoyed this very much one time with just chopped almonds, cinnamon and sugar sprinkled over the top instead of frosting.
