Bundt Beauty Carrot Cake with/without Cream Cheese Frosting

Most cooks have a favorite carrot cake recipe, so this one is up for consideration to those who haven't singled one out yet! I have tweaked the recipe over time and it meets my needs for a healthier version than the typical recipe, yet satisfies the discriminating carrot cake lover's taste buds! I usually serve it plain with a dusting of powdered sugar for family dinners or as a light dessert, but if it's to go to a potluck or gathering I give in and frost it. Served plain, each portion (1/16 of the cake) WILL SAVE YOU 210 calories, 6 fat grams, and 40 grams carbohydrates than the frosted version. Now you know why I go plain!
