Carrot Cake of My Dreams! image

Very dense, moist carrot cake, full of fruit. In a taste test against a more traditional butter-based carrot cake, my co-workers thought mine must be the more sinful! But no, it's practically VIRTUOUS!

Time 1h55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained and juice reserved
1 cup brown sugar
1 (8 ounce) carton egg substitute (such as Egg Beaters®)
⅔ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups shredded carrots
1 cup shredded zucchini
1 cup raisins
¾ cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Combine flour, white sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ginger in a large bowl.
  • Whisk drained pineapple, brown sugar, egg substitute, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until smooth.
  • Stir pineapple mixture, carrots, zucchini, and raisins into flour mixture just until flour is moistened.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes; remove cake from pan and cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
  • Whisk reserved pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, with confectioners' sugar until a spreadable glaze forms. Drizzle over cooled cake.

I love that this recipe uses whole wheat flour. It makes the cake a bit healthier, but it still tastes amazing.
