Yields: 1 pound cake

Ingredients :

• 2 ¾ cups (330g) white whole wheat flour or gluten-free* flour
• 2 ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¾ tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ¾ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
• 3 large egg whites, room temperature
• 1 ½ tbsp (22mL) vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp (15mL) vanilla crème stevia
• ¾ cup (180g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 cup + 2 tbsp (270mL) nonfat milk
• 2 cups (180g) freshly grated carrots (about 2 medium, peeled first!)

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a 9×5” loaf pan with foil. Lightly coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
2. To prepare the cake, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, egg whites, vanilla extract, and stevia. Stir in the Greek yogurt, mixing until no large lumps remain. Stir in 2 tablespoons of milk. Alternate between adding the flour mixture and remaining milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, and stirring just until incorporated. (For best results, add the flour mixture in 3 equal parts.) Gently fold in the carrots.
3. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F for 60-70 minutes or until the top feels firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting out the cake by the foil and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
