Brer Rabbit Carrot Cake image

This is another recipe from Eating for IBS by Heather Van Vorous. It's posted in response to a request for low-fat carrot cakes. I haven't tried it myself, but have heard rave reviews about it from others. The sweet orange icing looks like a great touch, although I'm sure it would be great without it or with your own choice of icings, too.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup egg whites or 3/4 cup egg substitute
1/2 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons fresh orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2-2 cups carrots, packed finely shredded or grated
3/4 cup canned crushed pineapple, with liquid
3/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh orange zest
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Spray a 10-inch non-stick bundt pan with cooking oil and set aside.
  • Sift the first 7 ingredients (flour to granulated sugar) into a large bowl and stir well to combine.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat next 7 ingredients (brown sugar to pineapple) with an electric mixer until well combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry with just a few swift strokes by hand; do not over-beat or the cake will be tough.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, until toothpick or cake tester inserted into center comes out clean.
  • Cool on rack (in pan) for 10 minutes, then invert onto rack and cool to room temperature.
  • Top with Sweet Orange Icing (or another icing of your choice).
  • To make Sweet Orange Icing: Combine all icing ingredients and blend with a fork until smooth.
  • Use immediately to top cake (if icing sits it will harden).

This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise at all and the frosting was too runny.

This carrot cake was delicious! The cream cheese frosting was the perfect complement to the moist and flavorful cake.
