Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Applesauce
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 cups Grated Carrots (about 3 large carrots grated)

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup Softened Butter
  • 8 oz Softened Cream Cheese (1 block)
  • 3 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • Decorating icing or sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a jelly roll pan (12×17) with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick spray. (Can replace with a 9×13 pan, but your bites will be much thicker, so increase cook time. If replacing for cupcakes, also adjust the cook time.)
  2. Beat applesauce, sugar, and eggs until smooth.
  3. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. (Technically, this should be mixed separately and then added, but I don’t like doing extra dishes, sooooo do as you wish.) Beat until smooth.
  4. Fold in carrots.
  5. Spread batter into prepared pan and bake for 24-28 mins til toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
  6. Frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese until creamy and fluffy. Add powdered sugar in increments until it is all smooth and delicious.
  7. Remove cake from pan by parchment and frost. I suggest keeping the cake on parchment until serving for easy removal of pieces on parchment.
  8. Enjoy!
