Hey Peeps, I just made this for dessert sunday dinner. And it passed the taste test of even my pickiest eaters. Yes....Tyler. I quote him, "Not bad at all, pretty good." That's as good as a normal person saying, "Jess wow! This is off the charts amazing!" dunk! So heres the scoop on this skinny Carrot cake:)
1 C. unsweetened Applesauce
1 1/2 C. Agave or 1 C. Honey
3 Eggs
2 tsp. Vanilla
2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Salt
1 C. unsweetended coconut
2 C. grated carrots
2 C. crushed pineapple (with juice)
2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 C. Pecans (If you leave these out it saves you 100 calories per slice)
3 C. whole wheat flour
Mix all ingredients together and pour into a 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 325 for 25-30 mins. Let cool and frost with this frosting. This cake tastes even better on day two! ....IF there is any left:)
Frosting
1/4 cube butter
8 oz. cream cheese
1 TBS Lemon Juice
2/3 C. Agave
Mix til smooth and pour over cake.
This recipe does make a lot of frosting, so you can cut it in half if you're weird and don't like cream cheese frosting.
this Recipe serves 15.
330 calories a slice with the pecans
227 calories a slice without the pecans
