  • 1 cup packed shredded carrot
  • 4 large eggs or flax eggs for vegan
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract crushed walnuts, pinch of cinnamon

Method
 

  1. 1️⃣ Prep & Mix
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-inch cake pans and line with parchment.
  3. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (almond flour, sweetener, carrot, eggs, baking powder, salt, and optional add-ins). Mix until smooth.
  4. 2️⃣ Bake
  5. Divide batter evenly between pans. Pro tip: Use parchment to press batter flat for even layers.
  6. Bake 20 mins on the center rack until golden.
  7. 3️⃣ Cool & Frost
  8. Let cakes cool completely in pans (prevents crumbling!).
  9. Run a knife around edges, then gently remove. Frost with keto cream cheese icing (recipe below) or your favorite low-carb frosting.
  10. Cream Cheese Frosting (Optional)
  11. Blend 8 oz softened cream cheese, ¼ cup powdered erythritol, 1 tsp vanilla, and 2 tbsp heavy cream until fluffy.
