Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting 3 large eggs 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt 1 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1/2 cup canola oil 2 tablespoons grated orange zest 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 31/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 medium carrots, shredded, about 2 cups 1 cup golden raisins 8 ounces nonfat cream cheese 3 ounces Neufchatel cheese 11/2 cups confectioner's sugar Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray two 9-inch cake pans with nonstick spray and lightly dust with flour. With an electric mixer at high speed, beat the eggs, yogurt, applesauce, brown sugar, oil, 1 tablespoon of the orange zest and the vanilla until blended. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to the egg mixture and mix on low speed just until blended, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the carrots and raisins. Scrape the batter into the pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Cool in the pans on a rack 10 minutes; remove from the pans and cool completely on the rack. To prepare the frosting: With an electric mixer at high speed, beat the nonfat cream cheese, Neufchatel cheese, confectioner's sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon orange zest until blended. To assemble: Place one cake layer on a plate. Spread with about 1/2 cup of frosting and place the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides with the remaining frosting. Serves 24.
