No Sugar Carrot Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Butter a 9x5x3 / 8-cup loaf pan (or 8x8 cake pan) and line it with parchment paper.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the pecans and set aside.
• Stir the dates into the melted butter, breaking up the dates a bit.
• In a separate bowl combine the bananas and carrots. Stir in the date-butter mixture, breaking up any date clumps as you go. Whisk in the yogurt and the eggs. Add the flour mixture and stir until everything just comes together.
• Spoon into the prepared pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean in the center of the cake. Remove from oven and let cool.
• Frosting (optional): Whip together the cream cheese and agave nectar. (Adjust sweetness to suit your tastes.) When the cake has completely cooled frost the top of the cake.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ Gas mark 4. Grease and line an 18cm round cake tin with baking parchment. Set aside 12 pecans and roughly chop the rest.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, bicarbonate of soda, xylitol and chopped pecans.
• In a separate bowl or jug, beat the eggs and rapeseed oil together. Pour into the flour mixture and stir until combined. Stir through the carrot and sultanas. Spoon into the lined tin, smooth the surface and press whole pecans to form a circle around the edge.
• Cook for 1 hour - 1 hour 10 mins until the top feels springy to the touch and a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Check after 50 mins, if the cake is becoming too dark, cover loosely with foil. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn out and allow to cool. Serve slightly warm or cold. This cake keeps for up to five days in a tin. Before serving, drizzle with agave syrup if you have a sweet tooth.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 10 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.

• Beat eggs lightly in a medium bowl. Stir in pureed dates, shredded carrots, canola oil, and vanilla; mix until well blended. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients; mix by hand or blend with a mixer on low speed until all ingredients are combined. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one halfway.
