Carrot Cake From Fat to Skinny Bakery

[morgan]

Umpa, I don't have any peanut oil in the house.  Is it possible to use canola instead? or is it that the peanut oil gives you the extra peanut taste?

Good morning Morgan, are you up early baking already?  I was ready the recipe for carrot cake yesterday and thought abput making it for my mothers birthday. but I thought I might ask her if she even likes carrot cake? haha!  carrot cake is MY favorite! anyways have a fun day baking and let us know how it turns out. I bought ingredients for cheese cake. so maybe it will be cheese cake for us! bye for now

umpa, my mother is coming here this Thursday from Texas. her birthday Sat. (74) I ask her what kind of cake she wants. and she wants carrot cake. so glad about that! so now I get to make it fts way. I was wondering about using stevia instead of xylitol? would it be the same amount? and I dont have the peanut oil. what do you think of coconut oil? I can buy the peanut oil. I also have canola oil on hand.

Hi Deb   I'm not sure about the stevia because I'm not experienced with using it especially with baking, so I'll just leave that to someone else.  However I do know that you could use any of the oils that you mentioned.  You are going to love this one...it is for sure one of my favorite recipes.  No one in my house could tell it wasn't made with carrots  

A very happy birthday to your mother

This is not a recipe Stevia will work on.The cake will be bitter. Canola would be great,TooSweet is correct about the oils being interchangeable. She makes beautiful wedding cakes. Follow the directions exactly.The most important thing is making sure you press the moisture out of the zucchini or the cake will be wet.This is my grandsons favorite breakfast food at my house.
Happy Birthday to Mom!
