Carrot Cake Dusted with Cinnamon

Yummy Carrot Cake!

I was in charge of making dessert for a dinner last night.  I was a bit nervous that I had decided on making a recipe that I had not attempted yet, but it turned out so moist & full of flavor, the apple butter & pineapple really make this cake great .  Not even a sliver was left.  I altered a recipe I had found some time ago in Missouri.  It may have been in a Taste of Home Magazine, not sure, but here it is:

Ingredients:

2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup apple butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups grated carrots
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

Frosting
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/4 cup honey Greek-Gods style yogurt
Tub of extra cream cool whip
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees & dust frosted cake with Cinnamon
