Low carb Carrot cake.
I've just made low carb carrot cake. It was great to here goes:
60g ground almonds (almond flour) 40g soya isolate powder. One level teaspoon baking soda. 2 heaped spoons slenda powder 80g grated carrot 1 teaspoon vanilla flavouring (optional) 2 teaspoonfuls rum flavouring (optional) 3 med eggs 30g melted butter 3 dessert spoons cream Beat the three liquid ingredients together and then blend in the dry stuff. Mix it all very well. Put into containers and either - nuke for 2 mins or bake for about 5 - 10 mins. The above made one cake about 4 x 4 to 1.5 inches and 12 little cakes. |
Can anyone tell me the difference between isolate and powder and could I use whey instead of soy?
Also if I don't have either to hand, how could I change the recipe? |
I was thinking it might be interesting to switch the carrot for parsnips.
Parsnips taste like very mild carrot and I think it's lower-carb too... What do you think? |
Parsnips are not low carb, they're nearly as high as potatoes.
|
Oh? Where did I read they were lower carb then? Hmmm... good thing I don't like carrot in the first place so didn't have parsnips either ;)

Parsnips are net carb 13 per 3 oz, potatoes are 19 per 3 oz, carrots are 5 per 3 oz.
