    I've got one that I LOVE! I don't have the recipe with me, but if you look up any recipe for carrot cake that uses pineapple (crushed in juice - NOT syrup) - it would be super easy to alter. That's what I did, and I've experimented with it several ways. So....for any regular carrot cake recipe, substitute applesauce (unsweetened) for the butter or oil - just use a little bit more applesause than what the oil calls for. Add a little extra cinnamon. Use whole wheat PASTRY flour instead of white (I get mine from the bulk section of our local Ingles). Cut the sugar in half (I promise it is still plenty sweet!). For the icing, soften two packs of fat free cream cheese (just barely) in the microwave. Beat in a little skim milk, a little vanilla extract, and a little cinnamon. Hope you enjoy it!
