Carrot Cake

Ingredients:

1 20-oz. can crushed pineapple
2 c. whole-wheat pastry flour (see Ingredient Note)
2 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
1 ½ c. granulated sugar
¾ c. nonfat buttermilk
½ c canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. grated carrots, (4-6 medium)
¼ c. unsweetened flaked coconut
½ c. chopped walnuts, toasted

Frosting:

12 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), softened
½ c. confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbs. flaked coconut, toasted

Preparation:
  1. To prepare cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. Drain pineapple in a sieve set over a bowl, pressing on the solids. Reserve the drained pineapple and 1/4 c. of the juice.
  3. Mix flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, buttermilk, oil, vanilla and the 1/4 c. pineapple juice until blended. Stir in pineapple, carrots and 1/4 c. coconut. Add the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula just until blended. Stir in the nuts.
  5. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake the cake until the top springs back when touched lightly and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. To prepare frosting and finish cake: Beat cream cheese, confectioners sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  7. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
Ingredient Notes: Whole-wheat pastry flour, lower in protein than regular whole-wheat flour, has less gluten-forming potential, making it a better choice for tender baked goods. You can find it in the natural foods section of large super markets and natural foods stores. Store in the freezer.
