Keto Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
A keto-friendly version of classic carrot cake, using almond flour and sugar substitutes. The cream cheese frosting adds a delicious tang and sweetness.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- 1 1/2 cups Shredded Carrots
- 4 Eggs
- 3/4 cup Erythritol
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 8 oz Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup Erythritol Powdered
- 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare one 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it. You will not be using flour to grease it, as it is not listed as an ingredient.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups Almond Flour, 3/4 cup Erythritol, 2 tsp Cinnamon, and 1 tsp Baking Powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- 3In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 4 Eggs, 1/2 cup Butter (melted), and 1 tsp Vanilla Extract until smooth. Pour this wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until everything is just combined. Do not overmix.
- 4Gently fold in the 1 1/2 cups Shredded Carrots until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- 5Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- 6Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This is important to prevent the frosting from melting.
- 7While the cake cools, make the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the 8 oz Cream Cheese and 1/2 cup Erythritol Powdered together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the 2 tbsp Heavy Cream and continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- 8Once the cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
