Ingredients:

Nonstick baking spray
1 can (14.5 ounces) no-salt-added sliced
carrots, undrained
1⁄4 cup canned no-salt-added tomato paste
1⁄4 cup 2 percent milk
1 box (18.25 ounces) spice cake mix
3⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
1 cup raisins
3 large eggs

Apricot Curd:
2 cans (15 ounces each) apricot halves in juice or extra-light syrup, undrained
1⁄4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 10-inch Bundt pan with baking spray; set aside. Puree carrots with their liquid, tomato paste, and milk in a blender until smooth.

Mix cake mix, 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon, and raisins in the large bowl of an electric mixer. Add pureed carrot mixture and eggs and beat on low speed for 30 seconds and on high for 2 minutes or until the batter is thick and smooth.

Pour and scrape batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Cool in the pan on rack for 20 to 30 minutes until cool enough to touch. Remove cake from pan and cool on rack until
room temperature.

While cake is baking, prepare the apricot curd. Drain one can apricots. Puree both drained and undrained apricots and cornstarch in a blender until smooth. Pour into a large saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until boiling and thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and remaining cinnamon until smooth; cool completely. Cut in 12 wedges and serve with sauce. Makes 12 servings. (Recipe from Mealtime.org)
