Mix together 1 cup flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ¾ cup sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ½ cup applesauce, ¼ cup milk, ¼ cup melted butter, vanilla, and 1 cup grated carrots
Spread the batter in a greased dish
Sprinkle ⅓ cup sugar, ⅓ cup brown sugar, and ⅓ cup chopped walnuts or pecans over the batter
Pour 1 ¾ cups very hot water over the top without stirring
Bake at 350°F for 40-50 minutes until set
The hot water creates the caramel-like sauce underneath as it bakes
