WEIGHT WATCHERS 0 PT CARROT CAKE
I want my cake and I want to eat it too. AND I can. The idea came from the Hungry Girl website. I could not find her exact recipe so this is what I came up with. Now the cake does not rise up like normal cakes do. But, the flavor and moistness is awesome. It has the texture of a bread pudding, I did make a light sour cream glaze with pecans for the top and that added 2 points if you use the whole amount I usually only use half so I figure one point. Will list that recipe also.

This recipe is from cooks.com. I am planning on making this for a dinner party I am throwing in honor of a friend who has been really successful with Weight Watchers. I'd like to print out a menu for her with the points values.

Tips:
- Use a sugar substitute like Splenda or Stevia to reduce the sugar content in the carrot cake without sacrificing sweetness.
- Grate the carrots finely so that they blend seamlessly into the cake batter and don't overpower the other flavors.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the cake tough and dense.
- Bake the carrot cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the carrot cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the cake stay moist and prevent the frosting from melting.
- Store the carrot cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
