Let’s face it, some healthy carrot cakes just want to sound healthy. You find them everywhere. But this one is, for sure. And really delicious. Plus, almost a no-brainer.
This healthy carrot cake recipe really does give you some real nutrition. It’s got fresh carrots, plus whole wheat pastry flour, plus nuts, not to mention honey. As you may know, carrots are high in Vitamin A (good for eyes, suitable for elderly nutrition), Vitamin C, and fibre. They’re low in fats and are a good source of many minerals, including Thiamin, Niacin, and Potassium. Being naturally sweet (have you ever tried fresh carrot juice?), they are perfect in a healthy dessert recipe.
This healthy carrot cake can be made the effortless way – just one layer in a standard 8×8 inch cake pan, or make two round cakes for a two-layer effect. In this case, you’d want to use frosting, including between the layers.
Okay, maybe the frosting is not relatively as healthy because it does have powdered sugar. I’m sure, though, you could use a sugar substitute, and it would still be delicious. Also, if you or a loved one has elderly issues with dietary restrictions and can’t eat much sugar, you don’t have to frost our healthy cake recipe. It’s perfect, just plain! But we include the frosting anyway.
