Diabetic Carrot Cake image

This is a great recipe that I came up with for my Aunt who just found out the she was a diabetic. She was very sad when she found out about it, so I made her this cake to try and cheer her up. It worked. :)

I substituted some of the ingredients and it turned out great! I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and it was still moist and delicious.
