Fruitrite Recipes

Almost Fat Free Carrot Cake

FruitRite® has replaced the oil in this recipe to reduce the fat while still maintaining moisture, texture and flavor.  If you still desire some fat try eating this delicious cake with a little light cream cheese instead of using icing. (the cake is already sweet enough without spreading a sugary icing on top). ENJOY!
