Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Sift together dry ingredients.
  3. Spread nuts on a cookie sheet and place in oven as it preheats. *When you can smell the nuts roasting, they're ready.
  4. Place oil, applesauce, sugar, eggs, carrot pieces, and vanilla in a blender. Chop until carrots are in very small pieces, but not pureed.
  5. Pour this mixture into dry ingredients; mix well.
  6. Then add crushed pineapple (entire 8 oz can) and roasted nuts.
  7. Pour into well-greased and floured 9 x 13 pan or 2 round cake pans.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes or until cake tests done. Let cool 5 minutes, then turn out onto rack to cool completely.
  9. *Optional Icing (makes a small amount so you may want to double it):.
  10. Beat together 4 oz cream cheese and 2 Tbs. unsalted butter. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups splenda with 2 Tbs. cornstarch. Blend until it becomes a superfine powder, then add it to cream cheese/butter mixture. Thin with orange juice (crucial for flavor and to counter dreaded Splenda aftertaste!) to desired consistency (I prefer somewhere between a glaze and a frosting), then add 1 pinch of salt and a teaspoon of vanilla. Ice your cake and Enjoy!
