🥘Ingredients

For the Cake

2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 large)
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups finely grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/4 cup raisins (optional)

For the Cream Cheese Frosting

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup powdered erythritol or stevia blend
1 tsp vanilla extract

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
2In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
3In another bowl, beat eggs, applesauce, mashed banana, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in grated carrots, walnuts, and raisins if using.
5Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add powdered sweetener and vanilla, and beat until fluffy.
8Once cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
