Comment préparer 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!
