Carrot Cake Recipe- Low carb/low sugar
This is a delicious low carb/no sugar Carrot Cake. The cake is really moist and strong enough for stacking. It doesn't taste like a diet cake at all. So if you are on a low carb diet or trying to stay away from sugar, yet you need to satisfy your sweet tooth, then this is an awesome recipe you try. This recipe is just as delicious as my Tropical Carrot Cake Recipe. Check a Cream Cheese Keto buttercream recipe that goes great with this recipe.
I hope you guys enjoy it!

Directions:
​
-
Preheat the oven at 350F. Grease 2- 6 inch pans.
-
In a large bowl add the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, ginger, salt and the Confectioners Swerve sugar. Mix well. *Remember that the amount of cinnamon can be changed to your liking.
-
In another bowl mix the carrots, brown sugar, eggs, coconut oil, melted butter and vanilla extract
-
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix everything well.
-
Place the pans in the oven.
-
Time of cooking will change depending on the pan you use and how much you fill your pan and even the type of oven can make a difference. Just keep an eye on it after the 35 minute mark.
-
Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and remove the cake after 15-20 minutes. Once the cake has cool down (I like to wrap them when they are still a bit warm). You should cover the cake in plastic wrap and make sure it's sealed well. Place it in the fridge overnight and let it rest. Torte and fill the next day for best results.
