20 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Unbleached flour
1 cup Whole-grain wheat flour
2½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons Baking soda
½ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon Ground cloves
6 Egg whites
1⅓ cup Sugar
1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
½ cup Buttermilk
1½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
8 ounces Crushed pineapple in juice
Undrained
2 cups Shredded carrots
⅔ cup Walnuts -- chopped
½ cup Raisins
1¾ cup Low-Fat Cream Cheese
Frosting

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350x. Lightly spray a 13" x 9" x 2" baking pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, stir together the unbleached flour, the whole-grain flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and cloves; set aside. In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with clean, dry beaters until soft peaks form. Slowly beat in the sugar. Then slowly beat in the applesauce, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Using a spoon, stir in the flour mixture just until combined; do NOT overmix. Then stir in one ingredient at a time ~ the crushed pineapple, the shredded carrots, the walnuts and the raisins.

Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until it tests clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. Meanwhile, prepare the Low-Fat Cream Cheese Frosting. Spread the frosting on the cooled cake.
