Applesauce Carrot Cake Recipe
- 1 1/2 c. white flour
- 1/2 c. whole wheat flour pastry flour
- 2/3 c. sugar
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 c. unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 c. oil
- 2 x egg whites
- 2 x Large eggs
- 3 c. carrots coarsely grated (about 3/4 lb.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
- In a medium bowl, combine the applesauce, oil, Large eggs, and add in them to the flour mix, stirring till the ingredients are well blended.
- Add in the carrots and mix again to combine.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9" bundt or possibly tube pan.
- Bake for about 1 hour 10 min or possibly till a toothpick inserted in the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.
- In my convection oven, it took about 65 min.
- Set the cake pan on a wire rack to cold for 5 min.
- Run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen I used a non-stick pan so this wasn't necessary and turn the cake onto the rack to cold completely.
- I do not have the nutritional analysis, but it comes in around 25% CFF and 190 calories per serving (12 servings).
- It's also very high in vitamin A (115% of the RDA, I believe).
- (makes 12-16 servings)
