Preheat the oven to 350x. Lightly spray a 13" x 9" x 2" baking pan with
non-stick spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, stir together the unbleached
flour, the whole-grain flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and cloves; set
aside. In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with clean, dry beaters
until soft peaks form. Slowly beat in the sugar. Then slowly beat in the
applesauce, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Using a spoon, stir in the
flour mixture just until combined; do NOT overmix. Then stir in one
ingredient at a time - the crushed pineapple, the shredded carrots, the
walnuts and the raisins. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake for
about 40 minutes, or until it tests clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, prepare the Low-Fat Cream Cheese Frosting. Spread the frosting
on the cooled cake.
NOTES : This delicious carrot cake gets its moistness from applesauce and
buttermilk rather than oil; traditional carrot cake contains up to 1 1/2
cups of oil!
