Apple Sauce Carrot Cake
It has been snowing all day in my corner of the world, so my kids and I have baked healthier Apple Sauce Carrot Cake. I found the recipe at Spark People, and it is the first time I was making it. As a matter of fact, it was the first time I was using Apple Sauce in the recipe. I like it! 
145.8 Calories and 5.7 g of Fat per slice (recipe makes 16 servings)
Those nutrition facts are not accounting the half cup of chopped walnuts I added to the batter to make the cake more nutritious. It adds 25 calories per slice of cake, but I made 24 servings instead of 16 and that gave me 114 calories per slice and 5.5 g of Fat, walnuts included. It is all good! 
I will certainly will make that cake again, because it is DE-LI-CIOUS!
My little picky eaters loved it, and we sure had fun baking together!

NB: For those - like Mister Tricotine - who miss the frosting, topping a slice of cake with Cool Whip does the trick without packing calories and fat.
Oh that looks yummy!
I printed off the same recipe from sparks. I've been wanting to make it.

mmm that one looks good, I'll definitely add it to my list...
Isn't it funny how participation makes a child suddenly enjoy something 'healthy'.. :-)
