I googled Jimmy Carter Cake for you. And also because I was curious what it is! Here's what I came up with. It's not sugar free, but you could easily substitute SF puddings, and I'm assuming powdered malitol would work in place of the powdered sugar.

JIMMY CARTER CAKE

1 stick butter, soft
1 c. flour
2/3 c. ground nuts
8 oz. cream cheese
1 c. powdered sugar
1/3 c. peanut butter
1 c. Cool Whip (8 oz.)
1 sm. pkg. chocolate instant pudding
1 sm. pkg. vanilla instant pudding
2 3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. crushed nuts (opt.)

Mix first 3 ingredients like pie crust and press with fingers into bottom of 9 x 13 inch pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool. Blend next 4 ingredients until smooth and spread on top of cooled crust. Beat chocolate and vanilla pudding and mil****il thick. Spread on top of second layer. Spread remaining Cool Whip on pudding layer and sprinkle with crushed nuts. Refrigerate 1 hour or until cold.
