Carrot Cake

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
  • 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.
