2 c whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon, ground
1/2 c chop nuts
3/4 c oil
3/4 c honey
4 eggs
2 c carrot, shredded
1 c pineapple, crushed drained

  • 2. Look for my sugar free icing for this cake.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, brightly colored carrots for the best flavor and texture.
  • Grate the carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cake and prevent large chunks.
  • Use a combination of spices: The blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in this recipe creates a warm and inviting flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting: The tangy flavor of cream cheese pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the carrot cake.

Conclusion:

This super moist diabetic spiced carrot cake is a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed by people with diabetes and non-diabetics alike. The combination of spices and the cream cheese frosting make this cake a truly special dessert.
