To give our cake moistness and more flavor, we used apple butter-a thick, dark-brown spread made of apples, sugar, and spices. You can find it with jams and jellies in your grocery store. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup apple butter |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
2 large eggs |
2 large egg whites |
3 cups shredded carrot |
cooking spray |
cream cheese frosting |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through salt); make a well in center of mixture. Combine apple butter and next 4 ingredients (apple butter through egg whites) in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Add apple butter mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Fold in carrot.
3. Pour batter into 2 (8-inch) round cake pans coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack.
4. Place 1 cake layer on a plate; spread with 2/3 cup frosting, and top with remaining cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Store cake loosely covered in refrigerator.
