Heart Healthy Carrot Cake

    Cuisine:

    Made this cake last night for my husbands birthday. He loves his sweets but recently had a heart attack, so our eating has changed dramatically! Anyhow, the cake was delicious, followed the recipe completely, (except for using Swerve instead of sugar) dense like a light fruit cake and was perfect! I also added a very thin layer of low fat cream cheese mixed with a little Swerve confectioners sugar, yum!
