This is a great recipe that I came up with for my Aunt who just found out the she was a diabetic. She was very sad when she found out about it, so I made her this cake to try and cheer her up. It worked. :)

I love that this cake is made with whole wheat flour and natural sweeteners. It's a healthier choice than traditional carrot cake.
