Anyone know any good sugar free cake recipes?

I know during the war they used to use carrotts instead of sugar to sweeten, so maybe carrot cake? But anyone have any other ideas?

Not with artificial sweetners though please, I hate chemicals

If you use chopped fruit like sweet apples, figs, mango like you would carrot, this makes it sweet.
Also I use honey instead in a lot of things.
