Whisk together the carrots, applesauce, sugar, oil, and eggs; gently stir into flour mixture. Transfer to an oiled 9inch springform pan. Bake at 350F for 60-65 min or until cake tester comes out clean. Hint: if you like pineapple in your carrot cake, replace half of the apple sauce with crushed or chunk unsweetened pineapple. Frosting: Take 125 gms of cream cheese and mix icing sugar (powdered sugar) into it. Keep adding icing sugar and mixing it in until it has a nice thick but still spreadable consistency. I'd suggest starting with 1 cup of icing sugar and working my way up. Frost the cake after it has cooled. Refrigerate. Additional notes by Eric: - I found that three medium sized apples yield about 1C of apple sauce. - about 125 grams of cream cheese was ample to make the frosting (and increase the fat content). They suggest trying riccota or quark cheese for lower fat. REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES /CAKES From rec.food.cooking archives. Downloaded from Glen's MM Recipe Archive, http://www.erols.com/hosey.
