Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb sweet potato
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar , firmly packed
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 egg whites
1 large carrot, shredded
2/3 cup low-fat buttermilk (1.5%)
1/2 cup carrot juice
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp orange juice
2 tsp orange zest, minced

Directions:

FOR THE CAKE: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Prick the sweet potatoes several times with a fork, then place them on a baking sheet & bake until tender, about 45 minutes.
When cool enough to handle, peel & mash with a fork, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
Generously spray a 9 x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray & set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, allspice & cloves, then set aside.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the mashed sweet potatoes, the granulated sugar, brown sugar & vegetable oil until light & fluffy, then beat in the egg whites until well combined, before folding in the shredded carrot.
In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk & carrot juice, then alternately fold the buttermilk mixture & the flour mixture into the sweet potato mixture, beginning & ending with the flour mixture.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top, then bake for 35 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack.
FOR THE GLAZE: In a medium bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, orange juice & orange zest.
When the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the cake, then slice & ENJOY!
