low GI carrot cake!!

[ilovedogs]

Has anyone got a good recipe for a carrot cake? I have been told Rick Gallop does a good one but I must have bought the wrong book because it is not in there. Please help me I am really needing some carrot cake and I don't want to have a normal one as I have been doing so well.

All this talk of carrot cakes made me hungry so I have literally just finish baking my own.
feel free to modify some of the ingredients because I used what I have to hand,

400g whole wheat flour
3eggs
cup olive oil
2 grated carrots
2grated apples
handful of raisins
about 15 sweetener tablets dissolved in a pan of...
200ml warm milk
some baking powder

mix everything together, these measurements are estimated so add more milk and oil if too thick or more flour if too thin

bake in a tin lined with grease proof paper at about gas mark 6 for 30mins or until done

The whole meal flour is a lot courser than normal flour so it didnt rise too much but its still nice and sticky, due to the olive oil.

I dont have any non fat cream cheese but I assumed some of that and sweetener powder would make a nice topping.

assuming this is low gi as all the ingredients are on my list

Hope this works for you!
