# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine grated carrots, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended and smooth.
03 -
In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
04 -
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in chopped walnuts or raisins for added texture.
05 -
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
06 -
Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Optionally frost with sugar-free cream cheese frosting before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
This cake relies on natural sweetness from carrots and applesauce instead of refined sugar.
02 -
Almond flour provides a nutritious alternative to wheat flour while maintaining a moist texture.
