Got the idea from 2big after I was scared to eat my starchy veges. This cake combines the carb with fat and protein so it's a good way to add in some carrots to your OWL, pre-maintenance or maintenance plan.
Spiced Carrot Cake
Cake Ingredients:
4oz butter
1/2 cup Splenda or sweetner
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (if wanted)
1 t baking powder
1 t mixed spice
2 eggs
1/2 cup ground flax *
1/4 cup almond flour *
1/4 cup soy protein isolate *
1 cup finely grated carrot
* (Can mix and match these three ingredients around depending on what you have. 1 cup bake mix can be used instead, you can just use 1 cup of ground flax, or 1 cup of almond flour or 1 cup of soy protein isolate)
Icing Ingredients:
100g cream cheese
1/4 cup splenda (to taste)
1/2 t vanilla
Cake Instructions:
Cream butter and sweetner. Add in eggs one at a time and beat well.
Fold in dry ingredients and mix well.
Add in carrot and stir into mixture.
Grease an 8" x 4" tin. Line base with greaseproof paper. Spread mixture in tin and bake in a moderate oven for 40-45 minutes.
Icing Instructions:
Melt cream cheese for a few seconds in microwave to soften. Add in sweetner and vanilla and mix well together. Ice cake when it has cooled.
Can be served with chopped nuts or walnuts on top with some whipped cream.
