Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached flour
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2 eggs
2 egg whites
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup 2% buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots (about 2 medium)
1 apple, peeled and shredded
1 (8 oz) container light cream cheese, softened
8 oz fat free cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp light butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar , sifted

CAKE: Preheat the oven to 350^F. Lightly coat a 13 x9 baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, unbleached or all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and cloves.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on high speed, beat the eggs and egg whites for 1 minute, or until foamy. Beat in the applesauce, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until blended. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in the carrots and apple. Scrape into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
Bake for 35 to 40 mintues, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool completely in the pan on a rack.

Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar. Stir in the vanilla extract. Spread the cake with the frosting once the cake is compeletly cool - swirling the frosting for a decorative appearance. Garnish with walnuts, if using.
