Sugar Free Carrot Cake For That Special One

My husband loves Carrot Cake and I have never even considered making it myself until I received a recipe in the mail of a traditional fattening Carrot Cake... So I began to tweak just to see if I could do it.  I was pleasantly surprised at the results! When it comes to baking you need to find a sugar free sweetener that you like. I actually blend sweeteners so that I like the sweetness and texture.  You will need to try a few until you find the one that is right for you. Ingredients: 3/4 cup Splenda 3/4 cup Stevia in the raw 6 packets Luckyleaf Stevia 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce 1 egg 2 eggwhites 1 cup Almond flour 1 cup oat flour (gluten free) I take old fashioned oatmeal and blend until flour texture 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp sea salt 2 cups grated carrots Frosting 2 pkgs Fat free or 1/3 less fat Philly Cream Cheese 1 cup splenda 1 cup Stevia in the raw 1 tbsp vanilla extract Cake: Blend the sweeteners apple sauce and eggs in the mixer.
