Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups grated carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
For the cream cheese frosting:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly powdered sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract together.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts (if using) into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
- Optionally, garnish the cake with additional chopped nuts or shredded carrots.
- Slice and serve the keto carrot cake, and enjoy your delicious, low-carb treat!
