Cómo preparar Low Fat Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (or Splenda) and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 1 cup unsweetened applesauce to the wet ingredients and mix well.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in 2 cups of grated carrots.
  7. Pour batter evenly into prepared cake pans. Gently tap the pans on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
  10. While cakes cool, prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  11. Gradually add 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fluffy.
  12. Once cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with about ½ cup of frosting.
  13. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
  14. If using a 13x9 inch pan, spread frosting evenly over the top.
  15. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts (optional).
