# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan with coconut oil and almond flour, or line with parchment paper. This ensures your No Sugar No Flour Carrot Cake | Healthy American Dessert releases easily.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 cup melted coconut oil, and 2 tsp vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
03 -
In a separate medium bowl, combine 2 cups blanched almond flour, 3/4 cup granulated erythritol-monk fruit blend, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ground ginger, and 1/2 tsp salt. Whisk thoroughly.
04 -
Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in 2 cups finely grated carrots, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, and 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut. Do not overmix the batter for your No Sugar No Flour Carrot Cake | Healthy American Dessert.
05 -
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
06 -
While the cake cools, beat 8 oz softened full-fat cream cheese, 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup powdered erythritol-monk fruit blend, and 1 tsp vanilla extract with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This creates the perfect topping for your No Sugar No Flour Carrot Cake | Healthy American Dessert.

Store leftover carrot cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days due to the cream cheese swirl.
03 -
Ensure your carrots are finely grated for optimal moisture and even distribution throughout the cake.
