I made a "healthy" carrot cake, but then I slathered it with cream cheese icing. Oops?
Ingredients for cake
- 2 c whole wheat flour
- 2 t baking powder
- 1 1/2 t ground cinnamon
- 1/4 t salt
- 2 c grated carrot
- 1/2 c brown sugar
- 1 c apple sauce
- 1/2 c crushed pineapple with juice
- 1/4 c raisins
- 3 large eggs
- Ingredients for icing
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 2 T butter
- 1 c powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, apple sauce, and eggs. Add wet to dry, gently stir. Fold in raisins, carrots, and pineapple. Pour batter into a 9 by 9 inch baking dish, sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 25-30 minutes, testing with a toothpick.
Let all ingredients for icing come to room temperature. Combine in a food processor.
When cake is completely cool, spread icing over the top. Slice and devour.
