SUPER-MOIST DIABETIC SPICED CARROT CAKE



Super-Moist Diabetic Spiced Carrot Cake image

Thanks to 1Steve for refering me to this as per my request for a diabetic-safe carrot cake to make my Baci (grandmother in Polish) for her birthday. She enjoyed it, but did note that she tasted allspice (she's not a fan). I didn't taste the cake, so I can't vouch for it. I did adapt this recipe to make it healthier and more diabetic friendly. Because of the lacking sugars, I suggest checking on the cake before 40 minutes are up. I frosted with my Mock cream Cheese Frosting.

CARROT PIE

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 2h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chilled butter, cut into small bits
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
2 -4 tablespoons ice water
1 egg
1 tablespoon white vinegar or 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
7 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 lbs carrots, cleaned and grated
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup freshly cooked brown rice
1 1/2 cups grated swiss cheese
1 egg, beaten with
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • For pastry: Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Beat 2 tblsps ice water, egg and vinegar to blend. Mix into flour just until dough comes together into a ball. If dough seems too dry, add up to 2 tblsps more water, a few drops at a time. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  • For filling: Melt 4 tblsps butter in small skillet over low heat. Add onion, cover and cook gently until soft, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove from skillet.
  • Melt remaining 3 tblsps butter in same skillet over low heat. Add carrots, increase heat to high and stir 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add water, cover and cook until carrots are tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes (if carrots are tender and there is still liquid, drain).
  • Puree onions and carrots in processor with eggs, yolks, salt, allspice and pepper until smooth. Turn into bowl and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • To assemble: Preheat oven to 340°F Grease 5 ½ x 9 ½ inch loaf pan (or 4 ½ x 11 inches).
  • Roll dough out on lightly-floured surface to thickness of ¼ inch. Cut out 12 x 16 inch rectangle. Drape dough loosely in pan. Press into corners gently with fingers. Trim dough flush with top of pan. Roll scraps out to ¼ inch thick. Cut out rectangle large enough to cover top of pan.
  • Stir rice and cheese into carrot mixture. Spoon into prepared pan. Brush edge of crust with glaze. Cover with dough, pressing to seal. Roll remaining scraps out. Cut out dough decorations and stick them on with the egg glaze. Brush entire pie with glaze. Make 6 steam vents. Bake until lightly-browned, about 1 ½ hours. Cool in pan. Remove carefully. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor or blender to finely grate the carrots. This will help them blend into the pie filling more easily and give the pie a smoother texture.
  • Be sure to drain the carrots well before adding them to the pie filling. This will help prevent the pie from becoming too watery.
  • Don't overcook the pie filling. The carrots should be tender but still have a slight crunch to them.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Carrot pie is a delicious and nutritious dessert that can be enjoyed by people with diabetes. This pie is made with whole wheat flour, oat flour, and coconut oil, which are all healthy choices for people with diabetes. The pie is also sweetened with xylitol, a natural sweetener that does not raise blood sugar levels. If you are looking for a healthy and delicious dessert, carrot pie is a great option.
