Comment préparer Low Fat Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

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