    2 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp salt
    1 T cinnamon
    1/2 c Splenda brown sugar
    1/4 c Splenda
    2 eggs, beaten
    1/4 c unsalted butter, melted
    1/2 unsweetened applesauce
    2 c shredded carrots
    2 tsp ginger root
    1/2 canned carrot juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously coat a bundt pan with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together both types of flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.

Using an electric mixer, in a large bowl, beat together both sugars, eggs and melted butter until light and fluffy. Add applesauce; beat again. Fold in carrots and ginger. Working in small batches, add flour mixture, alternating with juice, until batter is blended; beat on high for 30 seconds more.

Pour batter into prepared pan; smooth top. Bake until a tester inserted in cake comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in pan for 15 minutes; turn cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

While cake is cooling, combing icing ingredients in a medium bowl; using an electric mixer, beat until well-combined. (Add water for desired consistency if necessary.) Drizzle or pour icing over top of cake; let sit a few minutes. Slice into 16 pieces and serve. Yields 1 piece per serving.
