Paleo Grain-Free Carrot Cake



Indulge in a guilt-free treat with this Paleo-friendly Grain-Free Carrot Cake. It's made without grains, dairy, or refined sugar, making it a perfect choice for those following a Paleo diet.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional

Instructions:

Set the oven temperature to 175C 350F

Grease and place parchment paper inside a 9-inch round cake pan

Almond flour, coconut flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and sea salt should all be combined in a mixing bowl

Whisk eggs, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, honey or maple syrup, and other ingredients in a separate bowl

Mixing until thoroughly combined, gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients

Add the chopped nuts if using, crushed pineapple, and grated carrots

After the cake pan is ready, pour the batter into it and spread it evenly

A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean after baking for 30 to 35 minutes in a preheated oven

After letting the cake cool in the pan for ten minutes, take it out and let it cool fully on a wire rack

After the cake cools, you can either enjoy it plain or frost it with a Paleo-friendly cream cheese frosting

Slicing and serving your Paleo Grain-Free Carrot Cake is a great idea!
