Sugar Free Carrot Cake

I have always looked forward to a slice of carrot cake, you can’t go wrong! If you are one of those people that also enjoys raisins in your carrot cake, you can go ahead and them into this batter at the same time as the carrots and nuts. Personally , I have never thought that a carrot cake needed raisins but I can appreciate the recipes that include them. If I am being completely honest, I am a huge fan of anything that has cream cheese frosting, it is so much better than a regular buttercream! So, I am not totally sure if I love carrot cake or if it is the cream cheese frosting, either way I love this cake!

Instructions To Make Sugar Free Carrot Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease two 9 inch cake pans. Set aside.
  2. Whisk together your flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl until well incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together your oil, granulated sweetener, brown sugar replacement, and vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk in your eggs, one at time.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, slowly mix in your dry ingredients, gently mixing until the batter is smooth.
