Ingredients:

Serving

cooking spray
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
4 large egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1 tbsp canola or corn oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1 1/2 cups grated carrots
1 8- oz can crushed pineapple in its own juice, undrained
1/2 cup raisins
2 cups unsifted confectioners' sugar
2 oz low-fat brick- type cream cheese, softened (don'tsp use fat free)
2 tsp fat-free milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts ( dry-roasted preferred)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour in the pan, shaking so the flour adheres to the sides and bottom. Shake out any excess flour.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the egg whites, sugars, applesauce, 1/2 cup milk, the oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla for 1 minute, or until combined.
3. In a medium bowl, stir together the whole-wheat flour, remaining 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and allspice. Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg white mixture while beating on medium speed for about 1 minute, or until blended.
4. Stir in the carrots, pineapple with liquid, and raisins. Pour into the pan, lightly smoothing the top.
5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool for at least 1 1/2 hours before frosting.
6. In a medium mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together the frosting ingredients except the pecans for 1 minute, or until smooth. Spread on the cooled cake. Sprinkle with the pecans. Serve the same day for peak flavor and texture.
7. Cover any leftovers and refrigerate for up to three days.
