Ingredients
3/4 cup Honey1/4 cup chobani fat free greek yogurt8 oz (1 package) Neufchatel Cheese1/2 cup Egg Beaters3/4 cup Apple Sauce1 cup Pineapple, (canned, sliced, or chunks) and juice2 cups grated Carrots1 tsp Salt1 tsp Baking Powder1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda2 cups Whole Wheat Flour2 tbsp CinnamonTopping1/3 cup Whiskey1/3 cup Honey1 tbsp cinnamon
Mix together the dry ingredients.
Mix together the neufchatel and eggs together first, then the 3/4 cup honey, then add the apple sauce, yogurt, and pineapple. Then add in the carrots.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet with a mixer (I use a hand mixer) and finally, add the raisins. Mix these in with a spoon or spatula until they are mixed in.
Lightly spray a bundt pan with cooking spray, pour batter in and flatten it with the spatula.
Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes.
Leave the cake in the pan for at least 10 minutes. It should then release well onto a plate.
Then make the topping by adding 1/3 cup whiskey (I suppose you could use rum), 1 tbsp cinnamon and 1/3 cup honey into a saucepan, and allow it to come to a boil for about 30 seconds. The goal here is to burn off some of the alcohol (sorry!) and water. When the mixture is starting to get thick, remove from heat and spoon onto the cake. Let sit for at least 1/2 hour (1 hour is better) uncovered before serving.
Yield: 17 slices.
