carrots, nuts, raisins Carrot Cake
 

I bought a cake the other day at Safeway. Wonderful. Is there a recipe out there with these ingredients: Carrots, Nuts and Raisins. The recipe was fantastic. But that frosting. Ewwww Being a diabetic I am careful about sugars. But that frosting they put on it, (I assume is creme cheese) is horrible. Does anyone have this recipe for Carrot Cake.

This sounds good.

This sure looks like a good recipe and I do love carrot cake, especially very moist and nutty cake. Thanks for the link.

Standard icing for carrot cake is philadelphia cream cheese icing. If store bought or restaurant served you have to scrape it off, If homemade, what would you choose? I am not a "crisco" icing fan, popular with the cake decorating teams. My go-to icing is buttercream. But I am open to new ideas.
As a side note, my carrot cake is made with whole wheat flour, ground from wheat berries so the germ and bran is included. This holds the moisture, and gets more moist each day. This wheat combo adds another level of nuttiness to the cake and takes any baking recipe over the top!

Heavy, made from scratch cake trumps any box cake in my world !

If you can't have the cream cheese frosting, then I'd just dust itwith a little powered sugar. I know...it's still sugar, but not that much.

Just found this recipe the other day and cannot wait to make it...it's rich enough to not need frosting but if i do frost it, I sure don't want cream cheese (yuk) but plain, wonderful buttercream with real butter NO shortening. here's the link.
