LOW-FAT CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Tasty yet relatively easy on the waistline. Apple sauce replaces the usual fat to keep the cake moist. If you wanted to make it even lower calorie, you could substitute Splenda for some or all of the sugar.

Steps:
- Coat 2 (8-inch) round cake pans or 1 13 x 9-inch pan with spray and dust with 1 Tbs flour.
- Combine 2¼ cups flour through nutmeg in a medium bowl.
- Combine sugars through egg in a large bowl and beat well at medium speed; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
- Stir in carrot.
- Pour into the cake pans, then sharply tap pans once on counter to remove air bubbles.
- Bake at 375°F about 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center of each cake comes out clean.
- Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely.
- MAKE FROSTING: Beat cream and vanilla in a large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until smooth.
- Gradually add sugar and beat at low speed just until smooth.
- (If necessary you can thin the frosting with a little skim milk).
- Spread about 1/2 cup on bottom layer of cake; top with other layer. Spread rest of frosting over top and sides of cake.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 10-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl, beat together the egg, egg whites, brown sugar, canola oil, and vanilla extract on medium speed until well combined. Add the grated carrots and beat for 1 minute. Add the pineapple and shredded coconut and beat just until incorporated.
- With a wooden spoon, stir in half of the flour mixture, just until the flour almost disappears. Stir in the buttermilk. Add the remaining flour mixture, continuing to stir in by hand, just until combined. Gently fold in the walnuts and raisins.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Check at the 30-minute mark-if the edges of the cake are browning too quickly, tent with foil, then return to the oven to finish baking.) Remove the cake from the oven and let cool completely in the pan. Run a dull knife, such as a butter knife, along the edge of the cake to loosen, then unmold it. Carefully transfer the cake to a serving plate.
- Meanwhile, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, butter, vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and salt at medium speed for 2 minutes, until fluffy and well combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the powdered sugar, increasing the speed to medium as you go. Beat for 1 to 2 minutes until well combined.
- Spread the frosting evenly over top of the cooled cake. Sprinkle with toasted nuts and serve.

LIGHT & MOIST LOW-FAT CARROT CAKE
This is a moist and delicious carrot cake recipe from "Good Housekeeping". It produces a fluffy (rather than dense) cake and also makes great cupcakes (about 24). If you wanted frosted cupcakes, cut down the sugar in the cake recipe by 1/4 cup. For Cream Cheese Icing: In bowl, stir 2 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese and 1/4 c. sugar until smooth. Add 1/2 tsp milk, 1/4 tsp vanilla, and 1/2 c. more sugar; stir to a drizzling consistency.
