Carrot Cake

[owensmath]

I didn't do the colors. It wasn't as perfectly shaped as Umpa's picture. It sure is good. I had to piece the bottom part back together, as part of it stuck in the pan when the rest of it came out.

I just made mine in a 9 x 13 pan and iced the top.

I used the two round ones and stacked them. I may try doing cupcakes next time! : )

owensmath shared her awesome carrot cake with me today!  We even had a cake date and laughed about how we were eating cake and losing weight!

[owensmath]

Hey!!!!!!!!!!! That's my buddy from work!! We laughed about people think that you have to suffer on a diet to lose weight... while we were enjoying a slice of no-carrot carrot cake! That was as tasty as the cake, thinking about how good our new FTS lifestyle really is.

Could you please tell me how many servings you figure are in a 8 in. round two layer cake?  It will help me calculate my carbs if I know what proportions you are using.  Thank you

[umpa]

In the bakery book I did the carb counts for the total cake(recipe) because I may see a entire cake as 10 slices and you may get 12 and owensmath may get 16. It makes a standard size cake.Having the total carb count for the entire cake you can slice it depending on what you can afford to spend from your carb count or you can make 24 cupcakes and divide the carb count by 24. Got it Mimzy???or did i totally confuse you??

Giving a recipe's TOTAL carbs is better than a "per serving" approach.

When I see "serving" in a cookbook or nutrition label, I often wonder how they came to decide on the number of servings per recipe / package.
Did someone somewhere have a global meeting that I missed?

It's much better to give the total carbs for an entire recipe.
That way, a person can better determine how many carbs are in THEIR serving.

Thanks mouseissue! i really struggled with that decision!

Umpa my son is allergic to almonds. Can I replace the unblanched almond flour with soy flour?? If so do I use the same amount?

[mouseissue]

Thanks mouseissue! i really struggled with that decision!

Anything for our beloved Recipe Queen, Umpa! 

[umpa]

You are too cute mouseissue!

Sherripie I would use flaxseed before soy.If for no other reason the carb count.Try it and report back.Reduce the flour by 1/4 cup.

Okay we shall try it. It's for my birthday cake so I hope it turns out.
