Carrot Cake
Let's be very clear, just because this is on A Diabetic's Menu doesn't mean you can eat this all day, every day! It's a treat, which means it makes a better alternative to something purchased elsewhere pre-made or made more traditionally with a ton of refined sugar! Traditionally, to make this cake it would include 2 cups of brown sugar and 1 cup of refined icing sugar! 3 cups of sugar. That's insane, almost disturbing! My body just wouldn't know what to do.
We may be diabetics, but we are also human too... I love having these alternative treats to go to when I am craving something sweet so you never feel a need to reach for those sugary purchases! The most important thing is exercising self-control here with your portion size. This is made to be shared and enjoyed in small amounts to satisfy that sweet spot, not full you up!
