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,

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.
