Applesauce Carrot Cake
This super moist carrot cake was absolutely delicious and much much lower-fat than a regular carrot cake, thanks to applesauce and yogurt instead of butter and cream cheese. I used whole wheat pastry flour to make it even more nutrition dense. I will be making this low-fat carrot cake again for sure.
