Best 4 Diabetic Carrot Cake Recipes
Carrot cake is a classic dessert that can be enjoyed by people with diabetes. This moist and flavorful cake is made with whole wheat flour, which is a good source of fiber. It is also sweetened with honey, a natural sweetener that is lower in calories and carbohydrates than sugar. The cake is also packed with grated carrots, which add sweetness, moisture, and nutrients. This recipe also includes a sugar-free cream cheese frosting, which is made with Greek yogurt and cream cheese. The frosting is light and fluffy, and it pairs perfectly with the carrot cake. This diabetic-friendly carrot cake is a delicious and satisfying treat that can be enjoyed by people with diabetes and non-diabetics alike.
The article also includes recipes for a diabetic-friendly carrot cake muffin and a diabetic-friendly carrot cake loaf. The carrot cake muffin is a great option for a quick and easy breakfast or snack. The carrot cake loaf is a more traditional carrot cake recipe that is perfect for special occasions.

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.

Steps:
- 1. Directions: 1.) Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. 2.) Coat Bundt pan with 'BAKERS JOY' cooking spray. 3.) In large mixing bowl, beat all ingredients together until well blended. (Mixture will be thick) 4.) Pour batter to prepared pan. 5.) Bake approx. 35 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. (DO NOT over-bake). 6.) Cool cake about 10-15 minutes on baking rack. Invert onto serving plate. Cool completely & dust lightly with powdered sugar.
- 2. *NOTE: If you don't have the 18.25 size carrot cake mix just add 3/4 cup vanilla cake mix to the carrot cake mix you already have. It works out very well. You can also use a spice cake mix if you like it better than carrot cake mix.
Tips:
- Use a food processor or blender to chop the carrots. This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to ensure that the carrots are evenly chopped.
- Be sure to squeeze out all of the excess moisture from the carrots. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too wet.
- Use a light hand when mixing the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
