Paleo Carrot Cake Recipe

if you've been following me for a while you know that I have been a fan of baking with almond flour for several years now in today's recipe I am putting my favorite flower to work and using it to bake a carrot cake this gluten-free cake is sweetened naturally with coconut sugar raisins fresh pineapple chunks and of course carrots to finish it off I frosted it with my homemade maple cream cheese frosting and sprinkled it with some chopped walnuts if here's someone who is following a paleo diet the carrot cake itself is dairy grain and a refined sugar cream in terms of the topping in this video I use my maple cream cheese frosting but if you want you can get the recipe for a paleo friendly vegan cream cheese frosting on my blog foolproof living calm now that we got that out of the way let's start baking start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8 or 9 inch cake pan with coconut oil and line it with parchment paper peel 2 large carrots and grate them using the smallest hole of a box grater we'll need about 6 ounces of creative carrots for this recipe once it's ready just set it aside I think chunks of pineapple of our is such a classic addition to a carrot cake so I will die some fresh pineapple to edit to the batter later however this is an optional ingredient so feel free to under than if you like moving on to the dry ingredients in a large bowl place one-and-a-half cups of almond flour 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed 1 teaspoon of baking powder 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda 3/4 of a teaspoon of salt half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon half a teaspoon of ground ginger and a half a teaspoon of cardamom and give it a good whisk in a separate bowl place 3 large eggs 1/4 cup of coconut oil 1/2 a cup plus 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar a teaspoon of freshly squeezed orange juice and a half a teaspoon of vanilla extract whisk until it is silky smooth and emulsified egged wetting readings into the dry ones and mix until it is just combined finally add in the grated carrots diced pineapple if you're using a quarter cup of chopped walnuts 1/4 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut and 1/4 cup of raisins and pull them into the batter transfer the batter to the prepared pan and gently smooth the top with a spatula bake for one hour for an 8-inch pan and 50 to 55 minutes for a nine-inch cake pan when it is fully baked place on a wire rack and let it cool for about 10 minutes then loosen the edges with a knife and remove it from the pan to cool completely meanwhile make the cream cheese frosting in a bowl place 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter that is at room temperature and a half a cup of cream cheese using a handheld mixer beat on medium-high speed until it is smooth scrape down the sides of the bowl and add in 3 tablespoons of maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the squeeze of oranges that is about a teaspoon beat it until it is nice and fluffy you may have to scrape the sides of the bowl a few times just to ensure even mixing and finally now it's time to frost the cake spoon dollops of maple cream cheese frosting over the cake and spread it evenly on top I personally like to cover just the top part but you can spread it over the edges if you prefer you can leave it as it is or do what I do and sprinkle it with chopped walnuts a handful of shredded carrots and some dried fruit for some additional color there you have a friends and easy to make on the flour carrot cake that is naturally set sweetened grain dairy and gluten free you can find the full recipe on my blog Cooper Fleming calm and if you're like me enjoy baking with almond flour be sure to check out all the other ones I have on the blog I have over 17 almond flour recipes that are indeed foolproof if you end up making this cake be sure to tag me on instagram so that I can see your creations until next time thanks for watching .
