Astonishing how many carrot cake fans I’ve met through my Lower Fat Layer Carrot Cake and weight loss journey being featured in AARP magazine! (Seen above.) This classic celebration layer cake is studded with fruit, nuts, and sweet shreds of carrot. Sounds healthy, right? Well, no. Many Carrot Cake recipes are made with copious amounts of oil. One of my secret techniques is that I replace part of the oil with drained pineapple, effectively acting how applesauce replaces oil in some healthier cakes. This recipe is lower in fat, yet it’s still rich, moist, and flavorful. I wanted to see if I could adapt the recipe into a super easy dump-and-stir snack cake. Success! Please read on for the recipe snack cake adaptation and video.

I still cannot believe I am in a magazine that has my sheroes Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Sally Fields, and Rita Moreno on the cover! And, Sally Field followed me on Instagram. It was all I could do not to post a screengrab with the caption, “She likes me, she really likes me.”
