Hello all

If you love carrot cake, try this...

3/4 cup protein powder
1/4 cup glutin flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 ts baking soda
pinch of salt
one cup grated zuccinni
1/2 cup grated carrrot
2/3 cup oil
1/4 cup splenda
1/4 cup liquid sugar twin
2 ts cinnamen
1/2 ts nutmeg
2 eggs

Mix and cook for 20 minutes or so (really watch so it doesn't dry out) at 350. I cooked it at 325 in a convection oven. It dries out very quickly.

Beat 1/4 cup butter with 3/4 cup cream cheese and some liquid sugar twin for the icing.

I adapted this recipe out of another posted recipe here to lower the carbs by using zucinnni and sugar twin. I think the zuccinni helps keep it moist.

This is the most unbelievable cake I've eated since LC 4 years ago! I fed it to my teenagers and no one in our house can believe it's LC. It's extremely moist, fragrent, everything you'd expect in a 'normal' carrot cake. I'm in heaven.

With this, I can LC for life, no problem!

great recipe!! i'm going to try it this weekend. do you have the carb count by any chance?

Thanks. The recipe is sooo good. My teenagers ate it and couldn't believe it was low carb.

Here's the approximate carb counts.

1/4 cup glutin flour 6
3/4 cup protein powder 6
1/4 cup splenda 6
1/4 cup liquid sugar twin 6
one carrot 3
One medium zuccinni 3
Eggs 0
Cinnamen 0

Around 36 per cake

Cream chees has 1.1 gm per tablespoon. 3/4 cup is 12 tb? Not sure if it's 4 tb per quarter cup...

If the cake is 30, and the icing say, 14 that would make 44 gms per cake. I thought I used a bit too much cream cheese, but I LOVE cream cheese, so that's the best part for me and worth it.

There are about 8 decent sized pieces in the cake.

You're going to love it! I plan on making it pretty regularly...
