Carrot Cake
Classic carrot cake recipes call for up to a pound of grated carrots. For a cake that’s tasty and nutritious, work from a recipe that uses a lot of carrots, and substitute “light” olive or canola oil for butter.
Nutritional bonus: One slice of carrot cake can provide half of your child’s daily requirement of vitamin A.
Tip: To cut fat and boost protein, substitute a dollop of low-fat vanilla or lemon yogurt for the traditional cream cheese frosting.
