Vegetables might be in the name, but traditional carrot cake isn't necessarily a health food. Turn an occasional guilty pleasure into a clean cheat with this take on the dessert from fitness model Jamie Alderton! The combination of sweet vanilla, savory apples, pineapples, raisins, and—of course—carrots, along with aromatic cinnamon, ginger, and orange zest, will please your palate and meet your macros.
