As far as we’re concerned, this is the best moist carrot cake recipe in the world. The reason why is that it is an entirely sugar free carrot cake recipe. Not only that, but we’ve kept it simple, quick and easy, showing that it is possible to make a classic carrot cake with no sugar in just under an hour, with delicious results! We hope you really enjoy
All the basic carrot cake recipe staples are in here, but we’ve added some tasty twists so that your sugar free carrot cake turns out just as enjoyable as one that’s filled with sugar, but much more healthy, so it can be enjoyed without the guilt
Ground almonds add a lovely flavor and texture to the cake, so you get a soft spiced carrot cake with a subtle nutty flavor
We wanted to make sure this was a really moist carrot cake, so we’ve added plenty of raisins, with butter and a bit of milk to keep everything rich and delicious
You can’t have a classic carrot cake recipe without cinnamon and nutmeg! These fragrant, earthy spices are such an important, tasty addition, and will make all the difference when you’re making this recipe sugar free
A traditional carrot cake recipe wouldn’t have a lot of sugar, but modern recipes have added it more and more. Adding raw, unprocessed honey and vanilla extract, combined with everything else, is an amazing taste and very sweet. Choosing the right honey is very important, please feel free to see our blog on this topic to find out more
We make sure to use good quality, free range eggs with this recipe. This makes sure that they are nutritious and delicious, making this a more healthy recipe, but also the cake has a really good hold when it’s baked
Grated organic carrots melt and soften really well when baked. The cake ends up bulky, moist and very tasty. Our sugar free chocolate brownies use sweet potato in a similar way and it just goes to show how much vegetables belong in cake recipes!
When choosing the carrot cake recipe icing, we decided to keep it simple with cream cheese frosting. It’s a classic combination, and adds a lovely fresh taste to the rich cake
To keep the cream cheese frosting sugar free but sweet, we add one teaspoon of raw honey, and some vanilla extract
Orange zest tops off the cream cheese frosting with a subtle, fresh and juicy flavor. We’re sure you’ll love it just as much as we do
Once the cakes have cooled, be generous with the frosting! The combination of creamy frosting with the rich two layer carrot cake is beautiful
