Carrot cake is a classic in pastry, but like the majority of pastry recipes, they often use a lot of sugar, making them high in calories. However, with a few modifications, you can transform this delight into a lighter and healthier version without sacrificing taste. Instead of using refined sugar, we will use natural ingredients that will provide the necessary sweetness to our recipe.
The key to a light carrot cake, suitable for weight-loss diets without using sugar, lies in choosing the right ingredients. For example, we can replace refined sugar with natural sweeteners such as stevia or agave syrup. These sweeteners have a lower impact on blood sugar levels and still allow us to enjoy a flavorful dessert. Alternatively, we can omit the sugar altogether, as we will do in our recipe, since carrots have a natural sweetness. To add a touch of sweetness, we will use dates, which are not only delicious but also very healthy. We will also use whole wheat flour instead of white flour to increase the fiber content and keep us fuller for longer.
To make a light and sugar-free carrot cake, we will prepare the batter using two types of flour: whole wheat flour and almond flour. In addition to grated carrots, spices, and eggs. We will use almond milk instead of regular milk, and for the oil, we will use coconut oil.
First, we will mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another. Then, we will gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while stirring to incorporate them. In no time, our cake batter will be ready. Now, it’s time to bake it.
At this point, we can either enjoy a spectacular and healthy carrot cake, which is light and nutritious on its own, or we can finish it with a light glaze. For the glaze, if you choose to add it, we will use low-fat cream cheese, honey to sweeten (or any other sugar-free sweetener of your choice), and a bit of orange zest for flavor.
Simply mix these ingredients, cut the cake in half lengthwise, and fill it with this delicious cream. And there you have it, our light and sugar-free carrot cake is ready to be enjoyed.
