Indulge in a tasty and nutritious dessert with our Slow Cooker Weight Watchers Carrot Cake recipe. Made with wholesome ingredients and cooked in a slow cooker, this cake is both delicious and guilt-free.
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.
