Super Moist Diabetic Spiced Carrot Cake
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.
