Sugar Free Carrot Cake

Sugar Free Carrot Cake is a recipe that I get asked about quite often.
It is also one of my favorite cakes.
 

Sugar Free Carrot Cake

 
I get a lot of requests for a sugar free recipe for carrot cake.
I seem to have quite a few recipes which have carrots in them. However, I did not have one for a basic carrot cake.
 

Technically, you could say that this is a healthier cake than most.
That is because there are carrots in this cake and carrots are a vegetable with nutrients in it.
But, carrots also offer our cake some color as well as a sweet taste.
 

Like many other carrot cake recipes out there, this one calls for chopped nuts.

While you could use chopped walnuts, chopped pecans are a good nut option as well. We will be using a brown sugar alternative as well- which you you can buy online.
