14-CARAT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING (LOWER FAT VERSION)
I got the basis of this recipe from my mom, who got it from my grandmother (her mother-in-law). The original was the same as Recipe #17480, but I've cut back on the fat. You could also cut back on the sugar by using Splenda or something; I just dislike the taste of it, myself, so I don't use it. It can be made either as a layer cake (about 8-10 servings) or a sheet cake (about 14-18 servings); I usually make a sheet cake since it gives more servings, so that is the serving info given. Time doesn't include cooling time.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In mixing bowl, beat eggs and add sugar.
- Let stand until sugar dissolves, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in oil, carrots, drained pineapple and nuts.
- Stir in dry ingredients and beat until well blended--3 minutes or so with blender.
- Turn into 3 greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans or one 13-x9-inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Cool in pans about 10 minutes, then turn onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
- Frosting: Combine butter, cream cheese and vanilla in large bowl and beat until well blended.
- Add powdered sugar gradually, beating vigorously.
- If frosting is too thick, thin with a few drops of milk to spreading consistency.
Tips:
- Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your cake.
- Measure your ingredients accurately: This is especially important for baking. Even a small difference in the amount of an ingredient can affect the outcome of your cake.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make your cake light and airy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a cream cheese frosting that is not too sweet: This will help to balance out the sweetness of the cake.
Conclusion:
This 14-Carat Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor. The cream cheese frosting is light and tangy, and it pairs perfectly with the chocolate cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
