Carrot Cake Recipe
Are you tired of the same old boring carrot cake recipe? This is the Carrot Cake you will love for life! It’s a little different, as some of the ingredients don’t match what’s in a “normal” carrot cake. Even my own MOTHER who hates anything coconut ate two servings of dessert and brought some home! Do not knock it before you give it a try! You’ll never want to go back to the same boring recipe.

- 2 TSP GROUND CINNAMON
- 1 TSP GROUND NUTMEG
- 2 TSP BAKING SODA
- 1 TSP SALT

- 12 OZ FAT-FREE CREAM CHEESE
- 3 TBSP HOT WATER
- 1 7 OZ JAR OF MARSHMALLOW CREME

Instructions
- PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 350ºF. SPRAY 2 (9-INCH) ROUND CAKE PANS WITH NON-FAT COOKING SPRAY (I USED BUTTER FLAVORED PAM), LINE THE BOTTOMS WITH PARCHMENT OR WAX PAPER, AND SPRAY THE PAPER WITH THE NONSTICK SPRAY.
- COMBINE THE FLOUR, BOTH KINDS OF SUGAR, CINNAMON, NUTMEG, BAKING SODA, AND SALT IN A MEDIUM BOWL.
- WHISK THE EGG SUBSTITUTE AND EGG WHITES IN A LARGE BOWL. ADD THE CARROTS, APPLESAUCE, OIL, AND RAISINS, AND HOT WATER STIRRING UNTIL BLENDED. WITH A RUBBER SPATULA, ADD THE FLOUR MIXTURE TO THE CARROT MIXTURE, AND STIR UNTIL BLENDED. SPREAD THE BATTER EVENLY IN THE CAKE PANS. BAKE UNTIL THE CAKES ARE NICELY BROWNED AND THE CENTER OF EACH ONE BOUNCES BACK WHEN LIGHTLY PRESSED WITH A FINGERTIP, APPROX 30-32 MINUTES. LET COOL FOR 15 MINUTES. REMOVE THE CAKES FROM THE PANS, PEEL OFF THE PAPER, AND COOL COMPLETELY ON RACKS.
- TO MAKE THE FROSTING, WITH AN ELECTRIC MIXER ON MEDIUM-HIGH SPEED, BEAT THE REMAINING INGREDIENTS UNTIL SMOOTH.
