SUPER-MOIST DIABETIC SPICED CARROT CAKE



Super-Moist Diabetic Spiced Carrot Cake image

Thanks to 1Steve for refering me to this as per my request for a diabetic-safe carrot cake to make my Baci (grandmother in Polish) for her birthday. She enjoyed it, but did note that she tasted allspice (she's not a fan). I didn't taste the cake, so I can't vouch for it. I did adapt this recipe to make it healthier and more diabetic friendly. Because of the lacking sugars, I suggest checking on the cake before 40 minutes are up. I frosted with my Mock cream Cheese Frosting. Here's a link to the original: http://www.seniormag.com/cookbook/deserts/carrotcake.htm

DELICIOUS DIABETIC CARROT CAKE MUFFINS



Delicious Diabetic Carrot Cake Muffins image

These carrot cakes make a great lunch box treat or snack for diabetics. The only "sugar" is a light dusting of powdered sugar, which could be left off. If you choose to make them "non-diabetic", frost with cream cheese icing.

SPLENDID DIABETIC CARROT CAKE



Splendid Diabetic Carrot Cake image

This is my doctored-up version of my Grandma Joyce's incredible carrot cake, and it is delicious! I've been low-sugar/sugar-free for several months now and really wanted this cake, so I reduced the oil, substituted Splenda for sugar, and used whole wheat flour. The icing option is high-fat but really tastes great, even with Splenda in it (and I haaate Splenda's aftertaste!). I don't recommend making substitutions for this recipe, as the nuts and pineapple are crucial for the flavor and texture of this cake. Enjoy!

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1/4 teaspoon cardamom (optional)
3/4 cup canola oil
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/3 cups splenda artificial sweetener
4 eggs
2 cups carrots, chopped into small pieces and fit into measuring cup to 2 cup line
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 small can crushed pineapple in juice
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans (or walnuts)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sift together dry ingredients.
  • Spread nuts on a cookie sheet and place in oven as it preheats. *When you can smell the nuts roasting, they're ready.
  • Place oil, applesauce, sugar, eggs, carrot pieces, and vanilla in a blender. Chop until carrots are in very small pieces, but not pureed.
  • Pour this mixture into dry ingredients; mix well.
  • Then add crushed pineapple (entire 8 oz can) and roasted nuts.
  • Pour into well-greased and floured 9 x 13 pan or 2 round cake pans.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until cake tests done. Let cool 5 minutes, then turn out onto rack to cool completely.
  • *Optional Icing (makes a small amount so you may want to double it):.
  • Beat together 4 oz cream cheese and 2 Tbs. unsalted butter. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups splenda with 2 Tbs. cornstarch. Blend until it becomes a superfine powder, then add it to cream cheese/butter mixture. Thin with orange juice (crucial for flavor and to counter dreaded Splenda aftertaste!) to desired consistency (I prefer somewhere between a glaze and a frosting), then add 1 pinch of salt and a teaspoon of vanilla. Ice your cake and Enjoy!
