Hello Sammy! As a high schooler interested in the health science field, when I saw this comment and lit up with excitement. Please tell me what you do for a living because I would love to do what you do❤️
Diabetes runs in my family so I know full well how hard it is to deal with it. I have to be careful with my sugar intake and I love sweets! So I hope this works for you. Good luck!
I made this cake for my birthday last year. It was so amazing! My friend hates anything healthy, but he has been begging me to make this cake constantly ever since! In fact I’m finding your recipe again today, because he asked me again today to make it for him again! LOL! Have a great day!
I made this cake and it's fabulous! Everyone who tried it loved it. Thanks Edna for another great recipe. I appreciate your efforts and always look forward to all of your recipes.
Hi Edna, I just realized I subscribed long time ago on my personal account not my creator account. Love that you made a healthy carrot cake. I am diabetic, so this will be something I can make and enjoy! Love and hugs~ Josie, your FB friend :)
Made this today. Even my kids loved it and it was perfect sweetness with your buttercream recipe that my husband who hates cake really enjoyed it! It was perfectly moist🤤 Can't wait to have another slice for breakfast. Thanks for the recipe!
@@lucerohoward5649 Oh lord..I did forget! I will be working on the buttercream recipe for this carrot cake. Maybe I can do that after. Remind me if I forget. I can't lie, it's hard to keep up with everything.
@@EdnaDelacruzI made the cake and it was delicious but too dry. I did add rhe oil and the butter, but still 😪. Could I add more oil, sour cream and or apple sauce?
@@miariva706 Is not dry. I wonder if you over cooked it. This cake is never dry. I would suggest you to try and do it again. Make sure that you use good quality almond flour. I have made this many times and is one of my friends favorite cake.
@@unstoppablemotivation777 Oh, I see!..well this is an original recipe. I am a baker and cake artist for the past 25 years and this is my passion. My original carrot cake is a regular carrot cake and this one I created for those that need to stay away from sugar.
Just came across your channel, Am diabetic and I have terrible sweet tooth Lol Love that you have keto/no sugar recipe 🙂 Subscribed and looking forward to trying out your recipes Love to bake, now I can actually make cake that doesn't spike my sugars Great content 🙂
Well I look forward to giving this a try today. I ended up looking for a sugar cream cheese frosting. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Will let you know what the family thinks tomorrow. 😊🤙🏽 aloha!
Hello Edna! Thank you for this recipe. Can I make this as a cupcake and what would be the baking time? And would I still bake it at 350 degrees? Thank you for your time.
Looks nice and yummy! If you could put all of the ingredients under the videos instead of redirecting to open another website, that will be much better and convenient. Btw, is it necessary to wear gloves at home cooking?
I seriously believe I'm insulin resistant so I switched my diet. I can't wait to try this recipe. If I could somehow have delicious cake that didn't trigger insulin that would be great.
thank u so so much! my parents both are hyperglycemia, and they cant have my birthday cake for long time😭 really hope they will like it when I back home at summerholiday!
Ms. Edna, you are positively tha’ Queen 💣💥💥!!!! I made this yesterday along with the matching icing for a friend for Mother’s Day and it is ABSOlutely....delicious!!! I lie not about this here. I am an experienced at home baker and while I’ve baked a few gluten-free and vegan cakes...never a low-sugar/sugar-free cake. I was a tad worried when I actually tasted the ‘Swerve’ as it had that ‘cold, icy weird’ taste but in the finished product-OUTSTANDING!!!! And spreading that icing was like...like a dream-I felt like I was in a dang ‘frosting’ commercial. My crank spatula gliding through that icing. I WISH ABC...spread as smooth and creamy as that. The ‘Swerve’ in the icing was just PERFECT...in taste. I had never heard of this substitute until I had watched this video a while back. I SURE HOPE...you have or are working on a vanilla/white version and it would be nice for you to come up with a ‘Red Velvet’. Honestly, I don’t wanna try anyone else’s recipe in this area concerning ‘sugar-free’ cakes. After tasting this here Carrot Cake (which my friend absolutely LOVED)...I like to stay where I know it’s done right to provide the best taste, texture and height. Yeah...you did that girl.🔥🔥🔥🔥
I did the chocolate cake recipe and the buttercream for it. I do agree with the aftercooling effect of the swerve but it's the only one that doesn't make the icing grainy. To avoid the "cooling" effect, I don't add a lot of buttercream. It's more like a naked style type of cake. That gives you the flavor and is not as bad with the cooling effect. Then again, I feel that it makes you eat less, so I see the positive side too..lol
@@EdnaDelacruz Well, I’m here to tell you that I put it on as a ‘regular’ icing i.e it was NOT a ‘naked effect’-and that icing is THE 💣💥💥!! It doesn’t have that ‘icy cool’ feel or taste. I could even use that on my regular 🥕 cake its so darn good. I’m just waiting for the creation from you of a Vanilla and Red Velvet.
@@BookofRevelation2211 Which brand you use? It's hard to find Allulose here in confectioners and then I have some people that don't want to pay a lot for sugar. I will never win.. lol Let me know the brand you use so I can try to find it!
@@EdnaDelacruz No, I think you were misunderstanding me Ms. Edna-I used the ‘Swerve’. And the whole recipe using the ‘Swerve’-was spectacular. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. I will continue to use the Swerve. I followed your recipe to the ‘T’ Edna. I was just glad that the “cooling” effect taste-isn’t noticeable in the completed cake. It is delicious! I wouldn’t know this was a sugar-free cake. It taste just that good and for this reason-I will continue using the ‘Swerve’. ❤️
I made the cake with your butter cream cheese frosting and it was a major hit with everyone. Thank you for sharing. Do you happen to have a Keto German Chocolate Cake recipe you can share?? Thx
Hi Edna. I want to make cake for my daughter in laws birthday next week. It not clear to me is this 2 or 4 cake layers? Do i need 4 cake pans as the batter will fill 4 cake plans? Please advise ASAP so i can proceed. Im a single with no circular cakes so i need to know to buy 2 or 4. The picture shows 4 layers, the recipe says 2 cake pans. You know a guy can get quite confused in the kitchen. Maybe I should cook in the garage, LOL. Thanks
I made the 6 inch version of this cake and it was absolutely fabulous. Now, I need to bake a 9 inch cake . What is the recipe for that? Thank you so much.
My original carrot cake recipe has pineapple but it was the full sugar recipe. This one is low-carb and has no sugar and pineapples have a lot of sugar in them. Adding the pineapple would not make the low sugar.
Check my channel. I have low sugar buttercream for this carrot cake. It was my last post. If you are looking for regular buttercream, I also have a cream cheese buttercream that works great for carrot cake. You can also visit my website and find all these tutorials and recipes there. www.designmeacake.com
Splenda is actually a bad sugar. Even though they say is low sugar it's not a good one. It raises the insulin level and it can be just as bad. You need to use low sugar substitutes that are safe and don't raise your insulin. There are a few in the market so you can choose which one you like best. I like Swerve, Monk Fruit, and Truvia(bit make sure to use the one that doesn't have sugar in it) Erythritol is an alcohol sugar that doesn't raise insulin and Stevia is good. Read labels and if you want to know more about the subject, do research on the best sugars to use in a keto that doesn't raise insulin levels.
I’m making this cake for my grandmother and I have everything, but I wanted to know how much is one butter stick, in measurement. That’ll help a lot, thanks!
Hola! Saludos! Me gustaría saber si tengo huevos grandes qué cantidad son sino tengo los jumbo que son mencionados en la receta. Otra cosita, podría añadirle piña que contenga sirop de sustituto de azúcar y si se puede más o menos que cantidad seria? Gracias
I actually have a great recipe for a carrot cake on my website and also you can find it on the channel. If you want to make it with less sugar, you can substitute it with swerve.
The brown sugar I used is Swerve and it's sugar-free. It adds flavor. If you decide to not use it, you need to make sure to exchange it for Swerve sugar so you don't get a bland cake.
I never give an exact amount because this can change between the cake pan used and even the oven. I would say to start checking on the cake around 35 minutes. I used a 6-inch pan and it took around 40.
Not on this one but if you want to use regular flour, I have a Carrot Cake recipe on the channel that is really delicious. You can exchange the sugar for Swerve for a lower sugar recipe but remember that flour is a carb that can convert to sugars.
Make sure your measure cups are the proper ones. If you are using something like coffee cups or something else, the measurements will be off and you won't have the same results. Also, make sure everything is leveled. I have a tutorial on baking tips that can help. There's always a chance that maybe you added more than the recipe called.(human mistake), it happens to even me. I would say to try and use the proper tools and do it again. Make sure the ingredients you are using are the correct ones and double-check it wasn't just a mistake on your side. This recipe I make all the time and it's super moist.
I am not trying to bash anyone asking questions about instructions to do this.I am sure that Edna appreciates the comments,but sometimes winging what you are not sure of is part of the joy of trying new recipes.Poor yourself a glass of wine or cocktail if you like that stuff.Invite your girls,kids or your favourite people.Relax and enjoy the time whether or not it turns into a hot mess.lol
Remember it's a small amount of carrots for a whole cake. Carrots are ok for diabetic people in small amounts. Raw carrots have a GI of 16. The GI for boiled carrots ranges from 32 to 49. That puts carrots in the low glycemic food group: Low glycemic index: 1-55 Medium glycemic index: 56-69 High glycemic index: 70 or higher The glycemic index for any food will go up if you cook or prepare them with honey or other carbohydrates. Still, carrots are high in fiber, so that helps slow down how quickly they release the sugar. They also have a lower glycemic index than other root vegetables like potatoes.
I am thinking you did something wrong when adding the ingredients. Try again. This cake comes out perfect every time. Watch the video and try again. Sometimes we make mistakes, forget an ingredient or even add too much of it without notice. Make sure you are using the right proper measuring tools too.
@@desireejohn8545 That will depend on the size pan you use and how much batter you add to it. I usually start checking around 35 minutes for the pan I used, which was 6 inches by 3.
I followed the recipe to the tee and it tasted like unsweetened cornbread and even cut baking time. Swerve does not sweeten. In the icing I used more than called for and still not sweet and I am a person who does not like overly sweet desserts.
I am not sure why that is but I love sweets and I get asked this recipe a lot. You can always add more sugar. Also, make sure you are using super fine almond flour.
Compared to what is out there, at least there are no insulin spikes from it. But like everything these days, a lot of things are super processed. Time will tell. At least this is a better option for when we want to eat something sweet.
@@kennethwoolard5910 People are totally confused about this and a lot of them don't even know about it. Good fats are good for the body. Bad carbs make you fat.
@@EdnaDelacruz There are no good or bad foods. Excess calories make you fat. Excess calories from broccoli or from butter or from french fries, it really doesn't matter.
Do you only complain, bro I swear I know for a fact even if she added frosting you would not even thank her you'd just leave, in my opinion you're ungrateful :)
@@wtftia They don't even do the research to see if I already posted it. They don't appreciate the time and effort it took to create the recipe, do the testing, film, edit, and post it. People are so entitled these days that they don't appreciate the work behind it. Thanks.

do you think it's a good idea to change swerve sugar to splenda? will the consistency change a lot?
I would not use Splenda on a low carb diet! This recipe is for is for people watching their sugar intake!
Splenda is actually a bad sugar. Even though they say is low sugar it's not a good one. It raises the insulin level and it can be just as bad. You need to use low sugar substitutes that are safe and don't raise your insulin. There are a few in the market so you can choose which one you like best.

Read labels and if you want to know more about the subject, do research on the best sugars to use in a keto that doesn't raise insulin levels.
Hi! This looks delicious! 😊 I was wondering around how many net carbs per slice this recipe is?
I haven't had the chance to do that. I need too!
What other flour than almond flour, can i use?
Fot this recipe it's only almond but I do have another recipe for carrot cake posted in the website or you can check my channel.
Does Stevia taste just as good because i think eritherol causes stomach cramps
Try monk fruit or allulose. Some stevia's are ok but some can be bitter depending on the company.

Can this be made with coconut flour?
No, coconut flour works a bit differently than almond flour.

Sometimes we make mistakes, forget an ingredient or even add too much of it without notice. Make sure you are using the right proper measuring tools too.
How long should I bake it for?
@@desireejohn8545 That will depend on the size pan you use and how much batter you add to it. I usually start checking around 35 minutes for the pan I used, which was 6 inches by 3.
I followed the recipe to the tee and it tasted like unsweetened cornbread and even cut baking time. Swerve does not sweeten. In the icing I used more than called for and still not sweet and I am a person who does not like overly sweet desserts.
I am not sure why that is but I love sweets and I get asked this recipe a lot. You can always add more sugar. Also, make sure you are using super fine almond flour.
This new type of sugar is highly processed and there is little research on them. Nobody knows the effect of them long term
Compared to what is out there, at least there are no insulin spikes from it. But like everything these days, a lot of things are super processed. Time will tell. At least this is a better option for when we want to eat something sweet.
One stick of butter in a cake fit for diets, huh?
One stick of butter is for a whole cake. And yes, some diets do use fat as part of their diet. Keto is one of them.
Yes, Macros are essential and this fat is excellent
This is a low carb receipt! Fat does not make you fat! Sugar and carbohydrates make you fat!
@@kennethwoolard5910 People are totally confused about this and a lot of them don't even know about it. Good fats are good for the body. Bad carbs make you fat.
@@EdnaDelacruz There are no good or bad foods. Excess calories make you fat. Excess calories from broccoli or from butter or from french fries, it really doesn't matter.

Just realised was watching this on mute.I now know it was melted butter,sorry.
Oh, that does make a difference!

So no frosting recipe ooook thanks anyway
I posted the recipe for the buttercream on the website and there's a tutorial on the channel for it.
Bender sugar free
Why not do frosting too👎🏽
It's posted on the channel already.
Learn to appreciate instead of complain.
Do you only complain, bro I swear I know for a fact even if she added frosting you would not even thank her you'd just leave, in my opinion you're ungrateful :)
@@wtftia They don't even do the research to see if I already posted it. They don't appreciate the time and effort it took to create the recipe, do the testing, film, edit, and post it. People are so entitled these days that they don't appreciate the work behind it. Thanks.
wtf is allspice
It's a spice you can find at the supermarket.
It’s a spice that’s used I apple pie and almost everything fall season baked desserts, also in pumpkin coffee and other things as well as eggnog..
I think Spanish would do better 🤦♀️
Puedo tratar de sacar el tiempo pero me enferme con COVID. Tendria que esperar a que me mejore.
La receta esta posteada en el website. Viendo el video a lo mejor te ayuda por ahora.
What the heck. Why make a cake half way and not show complete process from start to finish….. boooooooo👎👎👎
The cake is completely done, and the buttercream is posted in another video on the channel. No need to be rude.
its not sugar free, it has brown sugar😂
It's Swerve brown sugar. Swerve is a diet sugar that doesn't raise insulin levels.
