WHOLE WHEAT CARROT CAKE WITH CREAMY ORANGE ICING (LOW FAT)



Whole Wheat Carrot Cake With Creamy Orange Icing (Low Fat) image

Many carrot cakes call for as much as a cup of oil, 4 eggs, 2 cups of sugar. But all that oil isn't necessary for this moist, delicious cake. I love this low fat cake. Use Whole Wheat PASTRY flour found in health food stores. You can use whole wheat flour but the cake will be denser. I also sifted my all purpose flour.

THE FANTABULOUS WHOLE WHEAT CARROT CAKE



The Fantabulous Whole Wheat Carrot Cake image

This cake is pretty amazing. It's made without refined flour or sugar, but the taste and texture are sublime: it's not heavy at all. Besides that, there are plenty of carrots, nuts, and pineapple mixed in. Carrot cake is one of my favorites, and it's even better when I can actually feel good about eating it! :-) Frost with a cream cheese frosting (spreading apricot preserves between the two layers is good too). Prep time does not include grating carrots.
