How to Make Spicy Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, lightly beat 2 large egg whites until frothy.
  3. Add 1/2 cup Fiber One cereal (finely crushed), and 1/3 cup vegetable oil to the egg whites. Mix well.
  4. Set the egg mixture aside.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup grated carrot, 1 cup grated zucchini, 1/2 cup applesauce, and 1/2 cup pumpkin puree. Mix thoroughly.
  6. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda in 1 tablespoon vinegar. Let it fizz for a minute.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup Splenda.
  8. Gently stir the wet ingredients (from step 5) into the dry ingredients (from step 7).
  9. Gradually add the egg mixture (from step 4), mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  10. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your choice).
  11. Pour batter into the prepared 8x8 inch pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving.
