How to Make Delicious Low Fat Carrot Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups cake flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs and 2 large egg whites with 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1/2 cup vegetable oil until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or with a wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups shredded carrots and 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting (optional).
