Ingredients
Carrot Cake
- ¾ cup / 75g almond flour or ground almonds
- 2 tablespoon powdered sweetener
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup / 100g grated carrot lightly packed
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp / 28g butter, melted
- 1 tbsp / 15ml heavy cream
- 10 g / small handful walnuts, crushed
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 2 tablespoon full fat cream cheese
- 1 tsp powdered sweetener optional
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients - almond flour, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, baking powder, powdered sweetener and crushed walnut pieces - in a small bowl with a fork.
- Add the wet ingredients- grated carrot, egg, melted butter, heavy cream. Stir with a fork until a batter forms.
- Fill the carrot cake batter into 2 well-greased ramekins (I used melted butter) or 1 Pyrex glass bowl. Microwave 5 minutes at 800W (or 6 minutes at 700W). See oven instructions in the recipe notes below.
- Turn the cake upside down onto a plate and serve with cream cheese frosting (cream cheese mixed with optional powdered sweetener). Decorate with more crushed walnuts and grated carrots. Or eat straight from the ramekin!
Notes
- 5g net carbs per portion. Makes 2 servings.
- I got the best results microwaving the cake at 800 watts - this gives the carrot time to soften sufficiently. It also prevents the cake from rising too quickly and spilling over the sides of the ramekin.
- 700-800W is equal to a MEDIUM power level. If you are not sure how to set your microwave to a lower power level or 700-800W, microwave for 2 ½ minutes instead and check if your cake is done.
- Oven instructions: Bake at 175 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit for around 15 minutes. I have not tried this myself yet, but it's what I would go for. If you bake it as 1 larger cake rather than 2 ramekins, it may take a little longer.
- Egg-free carrot cake: Omit the egg and add an additional tablespoon of heavy cream.
- If you don't have pumpkin spice, sub with ¼ teaspoon ginger, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
