Healthy Cream Cheese Cake

This is a healthy version of a carrot cream cheese cake that is nice to serve at a baby shower with the intention that the recipe will be later used on baby's first birthday. Have everyone bring a healthy recipe to the shower for baby's first year and put together a recipe file for the Mom-to-be to reference when baby starts eating solid foods.
