Servings : 16 slices
INGREDIENTS
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar for paleo
- 3/4 cup Butter (softened; use coconut or ghee for paleo or dairy-free)
- 1 tbsp Blackstrap molasses (optional)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Pineapple extract (optional)
- 4 large Egg
- 2 1/2 cup Almond flour
- 2 tsp Gluten-free baking powder
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt
- 2 1/2 cup Carrots (grated, measured loosely packed after grating)
- 1 1/2 cup Pecans (chopped; divided into 1 cup and 1/2 cup)
- 2 full recipes Sugar-free cream cheese frosting (double the frosting recipe; for paleo or dairy-free, omit or use a coconut cream based frosting instead)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line two 9 in (23 cm) round cake pans with parchment paper. (Use springform pans if you have them.) Grease the bottom and sides.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and erythritol, until fluffy. Beat in the molasses (if using), 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 according to the instructions here. (Double the recipe by entering "12" into the box for # of servings on that page.)
- 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.
