Weight Watchers has re-created the perennially popular carrot cake - right down to the delicious cream cheese frosting. 1/12 of the cake is 5 POINTS. From the Weight Watchers cookbook. Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 cup thawed frozen apple juice concentrate |
1 large egg |
1/4 cup nonfat milk |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar |
1 cup shredded carrot |
1/2 cup golden raisin |
1/2 cup light cream cheese |
1 tablespoon honey |
Directions:
1. Prheat the over to 375 degrees; spray a 9-inch bundt pan with nonstick spray.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and ginger.
3. In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the apple juice concentrate, egg, milk, oil, and brown sugar; stir in the carrots and raisins.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Scrape the batter into the pan.
6. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Cool completely in the pan on a rack.
