Ingredients

CAKE:

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

3 large eggs

1 1/2 cups splenda

3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk

1/3 cup canola oil

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 20-oz can crushed pineapple (in its own juice) DO NOT DRAIN

2 cups grated carrots

1/2 cup ground walnuts

1/4 cup raisins

FROSTING:

1 8-oz. low fat cream cheese (softened)

1/3 cup splenda

1 8-oz whipped topping (light, fat free, or sugar-free)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 9 x 13 inch pan with cooking spray.

Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.

Mix in eggs, splenda, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla.

Stir in pineapple (with juice), carrots and walnuts.

In a small bowl, mix raisins and 1 tablespoon of flour, then stir into batter (this will keep them from sinking to the bottom of the cake).

Pour into prepared pan and even out.

Bake approximately 40-45 minutes, or until top of cake springs back when lightly touched and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool completely before frosting.

Blend cream cheese and splenda; fold in whipped topping.

Frost cake.

NOTE: I use a hand grater to grate (not shred) the carrots. I tried doing it with a food processor but the carrots were very dry and made the first cake dry. With the hand grater, I get some carrot juice with the carrots and this helped make the second cake more moist..

Can you make this in several layers and ice in between so it's like a real carrot cake?

suzey0918 7 months, 3 weeks ago said:
Yes you can make it in layers and frost in between. Just adjust your baking time when baking the smaller layers.

Hi this was a good carrot cake for my first try with a sugar free cake. I accidentally rated this a 2 and it should be a 4. I will make this again.

Made this again and got rave reviews. This will be a keeper.

I suggest using sugar free pudding (prepared with less milk like the pie directions on the box)with the cream cheese instead of cool whip. They have a cheesecake flavor which would be good or plain old vanilla.

Hi I made this again substituting some whole wheat pastry flour (about half) and it was still a very dense cake but better. It was much better after day 3. I did try the pudding and cream cheese and liked it pretty well but something is still missing frosting wise. Everyone loved it.
