DESSERT, CAKE, CARROT, HEALTHY VERSION, Healthier Low Fat Carrot Cake, See website for step by step photos
www.101cookingfortwo.com/healthier-low-fat-carrot-cake/

Wonderfully moist and almost good for you. At about 250 calories and 7 grams of fat you get one of the best carrot cakes I have had plus it won’t leave a pool of oil on the plate.

The best of the recipes was Super Moist Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting by Gina at Skinnytaste.com. I loved that it uses normal common ingredients. But I can never keep my fingers off a recipe but made only a few minor adjustments. I want two layers. Carrot cake “needs” to be two layers. A few minor changes in ingredients and since I was doing layers, I needed more frosting so I changed that around a little.
