Preparing the Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch cake pan with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, Truvia® Sweet Complete® sweetener, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together.
In a second bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in canola oil, buttermilk, vanilla extract, canned crushed pineapple, and shredded carrots.
Add the carrot mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine. Fold in walnuts and raisins. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
Preparing the Frosting
Add confectioners sugar replacement to full-fat cream cheese, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Whip with a mixer until light and fluffy.
Spread on the cooled cake.
Refrigerate any leftovers.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the cake is completely cooled before spreading the frosting to prevent it from melting.
FAQS
Can I use a different sweetener instead of Truvia® Sweet Complete®?
Yes, you can substitute Truvia® with another granulated sweetener, but be sure to check the conversion ratio as different sweeteners have varying levels of sweetness.
What can I use instead of buttermilk?
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before using.
How should I store the leftover carrot cake?
Store any leftover carrot cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage.
Can I make this cake without nuts or raisins?
Absolutely! You can omit the walnuts and raisins if you prefer, or substitute them with other mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried cranberries.
What is the best way to ensure my cake is moist?
To keep your carrot cake moist, make sure not to overbake it. Check for doneness a few minutes before the suggested baking time by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
