Diabetic Recipe
Sugar-Free Carrot Cake
6 egg whites or 1 cup egg substitute
1 cup apple juice concentrate
2/3 cup canola or safflower oil
1/4 cup water
3 cups unbleached white flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups raisins
2 cups carrots (4-6 medium)
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Stir together egg, apple juice concentrate, oil, and water. Set aside. Sift together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Put raisins in warm water to plump. Meanwhile, grate carrots, and spray 2 round 9" cake pans with non-stick pan spray.
Gently stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until moistened. Drain raisins, and fold in carrots and raisins.
Pour into cake pans, and bake at 350° F. for 25 to 30 minutes. Then reduce heat to 325° F. for 8 to 12 more minutes.
Serve cooled (even refrigerated) with Cream Cheese Frosting.

Tammy dear, I am gonna ask you a personal question. You don't have to answer it if you don't want to, it's not my business....but are you diabetic? I notice many recipes you put on are for diabetics (or are you just trying to help out all the people who are diabetic)? HOW ARE YOU DOING, SWEETIE??? Better, I hope! Thanks for the neat card, friend. You are very thoughtful always, I swear they just don't make 'em like YOU anymore! That is a comliment! Hugs, Merry
