Can I use Stevia instead of Xylitol? I have such a sensitivity to sugar alcohols.

You can get xylitol from  health food stores or online(amazon  is my choice). It is birch bark and 100 % natural.Great for your teeth!
I find if you are sensitive to it you are using too much.I use 1/3 cup xylitol for 1 cup sugar  for what is called for in sugars in recipes.
You can use Stevia  or sweetner of your choice.(If using splenda add the carbs) ;)
This is a great cake! :)

No I think your sweetner is ok always look at the ingredient list if you are concerned and the creamer you use.I like stevia in my coffee.I use xylitol for cooking and baking Jo ;)

 Thanks Umpa ! Barbers Heavy whipping cream in the purple and white container states that it has 0 carbs ,then in the ingredients it says heavy cream and skim milk so how is that possible to have 0 carbs ?

Umpa, the "Carrot" Cake was delicious!!  Is it a typo or did you put 2 Tblsp. of vanilla in the icing?  I just put 2 tsp. and it was good.  I thought 2 Tblsp. would turn it brown.

We like a really vanilla vanilla flavor and when I asked Umpa she verified it is 2 tablespoons however it can be reduced if you wish.  ;)
