Miss Add and I are HUGE Carrot Cake fans. When given our druthers, we always choose carrot cake. Since Miss Add has been old enough to vocalize her preference for birthday cake flavor, we have ALWAYS had carrot cake cupcakes especially for her –the birthday girl– while her guests would oftentimes choose chocolate cake instead ;).
So, when I saw a sugar free crock pot carrot cake in one of my favorite low carb cookbooks, I KNEW I had to try it. I also KNEW it would have to be good in order for Miss Add to even begin to accept a sugar free version as carrot cake.
You. Guys. HOME RUN. I combined the cake recipe (with a minor adaptation) with my own cream cheese icing recipe (altered to be low carb) and it was AH-MAZING. Miss Add gave it two thumbs WAY up AND even said she wanted it as an option at her next birthday.
Notes on Sugar Free Crock Pot Carrot Cake
- The cake portion of this recipe was adapted from one found in Easy Ketogenic Diet Slow Cooking (one of my favorite low carb cookbooks).
- The icing for this recipe is VERY sweet, especially combined with the cake. If you would like a lighter tasting version, omit the icing and serve with a dollop of whipped cream instead.
- This recipe was intentionally made to be sugar free and low carb. I have not tried substituting sugar and flour in this recipe so I cannot predict how those substitutions would effect the quality of the final result.
- We use a loaf pan inside our 6 quart slow cooker to create a smaller cooking vessel, prevent burning and uneven cooking.
- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
