NEED! Sugar-Free Carrot Cake
I need a recipe for sugar-free carrot cake. I made one for Mary's first birthday, the recipe was from the What to expect... I trashed the book and now I'm desperate for the recipe. Beth's birthday is Sunday and I'd like to make her one.

Re: NEED! Sugar-Free Carrot Cake
YES! Thank you! You are awesome!!!
We actually made this for Mary's little cake and my whole family kept sneaking little bits. It's really good! I ended up making it again in bar form for snacks. I think I'll do that again. I just froze them in single servings.
