Cómo preparar Whole Wheat Carrot Cake With Creamy Orange Icing Low Fat
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Wash, trim, and coarsely chop 1.5 lbs (approximately 6 medium) carrots. Process in a food processor until finely chopped (or grate by hand) to yield 2 cups.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup raisins and the juice from 1 large orange (approximately 1/2 cup). Puree until smooth.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or whole wheat flour), 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, the prepared 2 cups of grated carrots, and the orange-raisin puree.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- For the icing: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 2 tablespoons orange juice, and 2-3 cups powdered sugar until smooth and spreadable. Add more powdered sugar if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost with the prepared icing.
- Cut into 16 servings and enjoy!
