Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups shredded carrots
1 cup unsweetened applesauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Combine egg whites and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Beat using an electric mixer until fluffy.
  • Place carrots into a food processor and process until finely grated but not pureed into a pulp, 2 to 5 seconds.
  • Pour carrots and applesauce into flour mixture; mix well. Fold in egg white mixture and mix until thoroughly combined. Spoon batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is pulling away from the sides of the pan, 27 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cake cool completely on a wire rack.

The cream cheese frosting is too sweet for my taste. I'll try using less sugar next time.

This carrot cake is a bit dry. I think I'll add more oil or butter next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond flour for the walnuts in this recipe. It turned out great!
