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.

    I made this cake for Easter along with your Stevia Cream Cheese Frosting. My husband and a friend of mine are raving about your cake. I have also just recently purchased your book off of Amazon. Can't wait to try the chocolate buttercream- which is my downfall. Can't wait to try a few more of your recipes.

    5 stars
    In my regular Carrot Cakes I add crushed pineapples and raisins. If I add them to your Sugar Free recipe will they mess up the texture or the taste?

      Hi. I would add them cautiously as they do contain sugar in them. I know that these are popular ingredients to add to a regular carrot cake however.

      Thanks!
