Whole Wheat Sugar Free Carrot Cake



So I tried a new somewhat healthy carrot cake for Easter.  Less calories then the traditional stuff. Seemed to be a hit, so for those of you who wanted the recipe, here you go.  This recipe is for a 9x9 pan, I doubled and it fit in a 9x13 cake pan just fine...

1/2 cup Honey
1/2 Cup Splenda 
1/2 cup canola oil 
2 eggs or two egg whites and one egg if you prefer
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. of cinnamon
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 Cup grated carrots
1/4 cup chopped walnuts 
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 can (8 oz.) of crushed pineapple ( UNSWEETENED) 

Mix together all wet ingredients and then all dry.  Put wet in a mixer and slowly add dry while mixing slowly.  Pour into greased pan and cook at 350 for 40 minutes or longer ( until toothpick comes out clean. ) 

Frosting
After cake cools frost cake
1 package of 1/3 less fat cream cheese 
1 (8 oz.) container of sugar free- low fat whipped topping ( cool whip) 
1/3 cup splenda 
1 tsp. vanilla 

Mix all together in mixer and frost cake!
