crock pot carrot cake recipe question

  • Last year sandra posted a crock pot carrot cake recipe. At the end of the recipe,she said it was worth the points. How many points is it? Is it not all core? Thanks, Sloan
  • Sloanie, everything in the recipe is Core except for Splenda Brown Sugar Blend. The bs blend is 10 pts for the total recipe. I think you could use plain granular Splenda instead and the whole recipe would be Core, but I have never made it that way.
  • Sloanie, I make it with the brown sugar twin, which makes it completely core. Another thing I tried the last time I made it was baking it in the oven. It worked great. When I did it in my crockpot, the edges got burns before the center was done so I wanted to see if I could do it in the oven. I used an 8x8 pan and baked it at 350 for about an hour. It's very yummy!
  • One more thing, if you do use the brown sugar splenda, you only need to use 1/4 cup instead of a 1/2 cup. A 1/4 of brown sugar splenda is the same as 1/2 cup of regular brown sugar.
  • I just made this and used 1/2 cup splenda(the kind for baking) I was in a hurry so I baked it at 350 for about 30 minutes . It came out really good but I may make it a bit sweeter next time. I am going to try to add apples next time also.
  • where is this recipe????

    Thanks,
    Rhonda
  • It's in the core recipes under desserts. But I copied and pasted this for you.

    Also, if you prefer not to use the crockpot, you can bake it in the oven @350 for about an hour, using an 8x8 pan.
