Low Fat Carrot Cake

Fat / Calorie Reduced Carrot Cake

This recipe uses applesauce and Splenda to cut down on the
amount of fat and calories. While it may not be completely
'fat free', it is definitely a healthier version. 1 cup of
walnuts can also be added to this recipe and sugar can be
used in place of the Splenda (vice-versa).
