Low fat carrot cake

Steps Making Recipes Low fat carrot cake using 14 ingredients and 9 steps

Low fat carrot cake - In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar, buttermilk, egg whites, egg, oil and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, spices and salt; gradually beat into sugar mixture until blended. I have made some adjustments to the recipe to make this low fat. I replaced the cup of cake flour with a cup of whole wheat flour. Instead of the vegetable oil I used one cup of non-sweetened apple sauce.

This Low Carb Carrot Cake is full of texture and flavour with lots of spices, soft juicy carrots, crunchy walnuts and rich creamy lemon frosting.

It's also deliciously moist and light, high in protein, free from refined sugars, and low in fat.

Low fat carrot cake - I have been making carrot cake for years, and each time it seems to improve with a little tinkering here and there. A few years ago I attempted a low-fat version rather reluctantly, not believing it was possible. Now I have to admit it's become one of my favourites. It's also one of the quickest, easiest cakes ever. Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, then set aside. In a large measuring cup, combine all liquid ingredients (including carrot). Tender carrot cake full of cozy spices & topped with sweet cream cheese frosting. Thank you and good luck
