Best Whole Wheat Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting Recipes

THE FANTABULOUS WHOLE WHEAT CARROT CAKE

The Fantabulous Whole Wheat Carrot Cake image

This cake is pretty amazing. It's made without refined flour or sugar, but the taste and texture are sublime: it's not heavy at all. Besides that, there are plenty of carrots, nuts, and pineapple mixed in. Carrot cake is one of my favorites, and it's even better when I can actually feel good about eating it! :-) Frost with a cream cheese frosting (spreading apricot preserves between the two layers is good too). Prep time does not include grating carrots.

Ingredients

2 cups white whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup honey
4 eggs
2 cups grated carrots
1 cup unsweetened crushed canned pineapple, drained
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

Combine dry ingredients.
Add oil, honey, and eggs; mix well.
Stir in remaining 3 ingredients.
Bake in two greased 9-inch cake layer pans for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees.
Cool in pans several minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack.
You can also bake this in a 9x13 pan as a sheet cake -- just as good, and easier than frosting a layer cake!
