Slow Cooker Weight Watchers Carrot Cake Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- pinch ground cloves
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 can (15oz) pumpkin puree
- 2 cups carrots grated
- 4 tablespoon Neufchâtel cheese at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon Plain lowfat Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup pecan chopped
Instructions
- Get two sheets of aluminum foil, long enough for the sides to extend out of the slow cooker by about 4 inches.
- For the first sheet of foil, fold it in half lengthwise, then place it in the slow cooker insert with the excess over the sides.
- For the second sheet of foil, fold it in half lengthwise and place it perpendicular to the first sheet, forming a cross shape in the slow cooker insert. This makes it easier to take the cake out of the slow cooker later.
- Line a 6-quart slow cooker with a plastic liner and spray with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and cloves.
- In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar and eggs until smooth, then add the pumpkin puree.
- Incorporate the flour mixture into the egg mixture, then fold in the carrots.
- Pour the batter into the prepared slow cooker, cover and cook on high until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 2.5 to 3.5 hours.
- Use the foil handles to transfer the cake to a cooling rack and let it cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Once the cake has cooled, place it on a serving platter, and cover the top evenly with frosting (Frosting directions below).
- Garnish with pecans and slice into 12 pieces using a serrated knife.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
For the Frosting:
- Mix the cream cheese, yogurt, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt in a bowl, then beat with an electric mixer until smooth, 2-4 minutes.
- Reduce the mixer speed and slowly add the powdered sugar, beat until smooth, 4-6 minutes. Increase the speed and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy, 2-4 minutes.
