In a mixing bowl, combine both flours, baking powder, cinnamon, baking
soda, nutmeg, raisins, and walnuts. Whisk together the carrots, applesauce,
sugar, oil, and eggs; gently stir into flour mixture. Transfer to an oiled
9inch springform pan. Bake at 350F for 60-65 min or until cake tester comes
out clean.

Hint: if you like pineapple in your carrot cake, replace half of the apple
sauce with crushed or chunk unsweetened pineapple.

Frosting: Take 125 gms of cream cheese and mix icing sugar (powdered sugar)
into it. Keep adding icing sugar and mixing it in until it has a nice thick
but still spreadable consistency. I’d suggest starting with 1 cup of icing
sugar and working my way up. Frost the cake after it has cooled.
Refrigerate.

Additional notes by Eric: – I found that three medium sized apples yield
about 1C of apple sauce. – about 125 grams of cream cheese was ample to
make the frosting (and increase the fat content). They suggest trying
riccota or quark cheese for lower fat.
