A DIFFERENT FLUFFY, LIGHT AND MOIST CARROT CAKE (VERY LOW FAT)
I tried this recipe from a site and changed only one thing (I added 2 teaspoons cinnamon instead of the recommended 1 teaspoon orange extract) and it turned out very fluffy and moist. It also doesn't use butter or oil so its light and delicious. The frosting also doesn't use any butter so its light and delicious.
