For the carrot cake:
💚 4 large Eggs (preferably at room temperature)
💚 280g NKD Living Almond Flour
💚 2 tsp Baking Powder
💚 2 tsp Cinnamon
💚 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
💚 320g Carrots (grated, measured loosely packed after grating)
💚 150g Pecans (chopped; divided into 1 cup and 1/2 cup)
METHOD:
For the cake:
-
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C. Line two 23 cm round cake pans with parchment paper. Grease the bottom and sides.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and erythritol, until fluffy. Beat in the Naked Syrup, vanilla extract, and pineapple extract (if using). Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Set aside.
-
In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients.
-
Stir in the grated carrots. Fold 1 cup (99 g) of the chopped pecans, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup (48.5 g).
-
Transfer the batter evenly among the two prepared baking pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is spring-y.
-
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Meanwhile, make the sugar-free frosting (method below).
-
When the cake has cooled to room temperature, place the bottom layer on a plate or cake stand. Frost, then add the top layer and frost again. Top with the remaining chopped pecans.
For the frosting:
-
Use a hand mixer to beat together the cream cheese and butter, until fluffy.
-
Beat in the NKD Living Powdered Erythritol and vanilla, until well incorporated.
-
Add cream and beat again, until creamy. Adjust the amount of cream to your desired consistency.
