Shortcut Apple Carrot Bundt Cake with Marshmallow Cream Cheese Icing

Yields 14 pieces

 

Ingredients:

Cake batter:
  • 4- 4 oz jars baby carrots
  • 1- 4 oz jar baby applesauce
  • 2  eggs
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 tbsp canola, avocado or grapeseed oil
  • 1- 8 oz can crushed pineapple, drained very well (save the juice for later)
  • 1 tbsp of the reserved pineapple juice
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour, or use all purpose flour in its place
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
Icing:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temp, I used reduced fat cream cheese for this recipe
  • 3/4 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 3/4 – 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp milk of choice, non dairy works too
  • 1 tbsp pineapple juice, optional
  • orange zest to your liking for garnish

Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Have a Bundt pan ready and sprayed with cooking spray.
    2. In a large mixing bowl combine the following with a rubber spatula: carrots, applesauce, eggs, pineapple, juice, vanilla, sugar, zest, and cinnamon.
    3. Add the dry ingredients and mix completely until well combined. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
    4. Pour batter into baking pan and try to make sure it’s even all around.
    5. Bake for about 45-55 minutes. Turn pan around after 25 minutes for even baking. Take the cake out after 45 minutes and check with a toothpick or wooden skewer. It should come out  clean or with dry crumbs.
    6. Let cool in the pan on a cooling rack while you are getting the frosting ready.
For the frosting:
  1. In a large mixing bowl add the cream cheese, marshmallow cream (spray the measuring cup with cooking spray for easy removal). Mix with a hand held electric mixer on medium speed.
  2. Add the vanilla extract. Slowly add the powdered sugar along with 1 tbsp of milk. After all the sugar is in, add the second tbsp of milk (if needed) and the pineapple juice. After, use a rubber spatula to mix the frosting. Set aside.
  3. Use a plate to invert the cake and remove from bundt pan. Drizzle the icing over the cake and garnish with the orange zest.  Enjoy!!
