carrot cake

I dont always follow recipes. When I make carrot cake I follow a regular recipe but add splenda in place of sugar and sf applesauce in place of oil. I add crushed pineapple, pecans, grated carrots, self rising flour , sf applesauce, splenda and mix it up. I bake the cake in a 13 by 9 pan and frost the cake with a frosting of splenda, vanilla, a little butter and low fat cream cheese, I made this cake for a birthday party for an obesity help friend of mine and he had a regular chocolate cake too and mine cake went first. Even the skinny people liked it. If you take out the sugar and oil carrot cake is a fairly healthy food we can have fairly often. I forgot I add pumpkin pie spice and cinamon too. I recently bought a splenda cookbook as I try a recipe and like it I will share it with everyone.

great David actually a lot of receips can be used with us if you use your head about fixing them . and use other things instead of what it says. like spagetti and meat balls . use spat squash instead and you have reduced all of the carbs to almost nothing. and isbetter tasting too. thanks for sharing the receips.

tks David........Vesta

Wow, David! That sounds fantastic! I will definitely have to try it cause I love to bake

David, Thanks for sharing. I don't bake a lot anymore, but treat myself "once in a while".....usually when I'm going to a potluck get together or having company. This sounds like something that would be good for that. Glenna
