I made this carrot cake for Thanksgiving because I'm trying to go Primal and my parents are both diabetic. I added a little vanilla to the frosting and used Xylitol (powdered it in my VitaMix) instead of Stevia. It was AWESOME! It was even better after sitting for a day or two. Great recipe! - 1/11/12
