KETO CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

This recipe for Keto Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is the PERFECT springtime dessert.  With only 3 net carbs per slice, it’s a great, low carb alternative to traditional carrot cakes. Serve it as is – or toss in some chopped pecans for some extra crunch!

Despite the snow that we have been getting this week here in southern Indiana – it is officially springtime! This carrot cake is perfect for springtime gatherings such as Easter or mothers day and with the carbs super low, it would also be a great anytime treat!

I’m not a huge fan of nuts mixed into desserts, but you could certainly toss some chopped pecans or walnuts into the batter of this mix or even into the frosting if that’s your thing.


If you watch the video, you may notice that I used pre-shredded carrots. This was just an act of pure laziness 😏 It certainly worked, so if you are not about that grating life, then you could also use them. Just do yourself a favor and pop them in the microwave for about 2 minutes before adding them to the batter to ensure that they get cooked through.

Also, this recipe makes a single layer cake. You can easily turn this into a 2 layer cake by simply doubling the recipe.

Ingredients
For the cake:
  • 1/2 cup erythritol (granular or confectioners)
  • 5 tbsp butter softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 cup carrot (about 1 large carrot) finely grated

For Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp butter softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 cup Confectioners Erythritol

Instructions
For the Cake:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9" cake pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the erythritol and butter until fluffy.
  3. Beat the eggs in, then the almond milk and vanilla.
  4. Next, beat in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and spices. 
  5. Fold in the shredded carrot and mix just until it is well integrated into the batter. 
  6. Transfer to prepared pan and bake for 18-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. 
  7. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
