Ingredients

For the Cake

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or butter
• 1/2 cup sugar-free sweetener
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups finely grated carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Sugar-Free Cream Cheese Frosting

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream if needed

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch cake pan or loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. These warm spices give the cake its classic cozy flavor while the almond flour keeps it soft and moist.

In another bowl, whisk the eggs, applesauce, melted coconut oil, sugar-free sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. The applesauce helps naturally sweeten the cake while adding extra moisture.

Slowly combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until fully mixed. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts if using. Finely grated carrots work best because they soften beautifully during baking and create the perfect texture.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.

To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar-free sweetener and vanilla extract, then mix again until creamy. If needed, add a little heavy cream for a softer consistency.

Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake and garnish with extra nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a beautiful finish.

This cake tastes even better after chilling for a few hours, allowing the flavors to blend perfectly. Moist, creamy, lightly spiced, and naturally sweetened, this Sugar-Free Carrot Cake is a dessert everyone will love.
