Directions
Preheat oven to 350.

Measure egg whites and whisk slightly. Add oil and applesauce and whisk again.
Pour wet into dry and mix just until all powder is gone, gently fold in carrot. (If you like nuts, raisins, etc in your cake..add it now)
Bake until set, about 25-30 min.

To make frosting, lightly beat cheese with mixer to fluff, slowly add powdered sugar while beating, stopping to taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Top on cooled cake and add any or all: chopped walnuts, chopped dates or raisins, chocolate chips, chopped candied ginger (these toppings listed NOT included in nutritional info).
