Ingredients
Carrot Cake
- 1½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup coconut palm sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cups carrots, shredded
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans, plus more for topping
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drain any excess juices)
Frosting
- ½ cup grass-fed butter, softened
- ½ cup unsweetened, full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight (just the thick cream on top, not the water)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup coconut palm sugar
- ¾ cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and grease a 9” springform pan with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add coconut palm sugar, applesauce, shredded carrots, eggs, coconut oil, shredded coconut, 1 cup chopped pecans, and pineapple. Mix until well incorporated.
- Pour batter into springform pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make frosting by beating together butter and coconut cream in a bowl with an electric mixer. Add vanilla, coconut palm sugar, and shredded coconut. Beat well.
- After the cake has cooled, remove the top part of the springform pan and frost the sides of the cake. Add a dollop of frosting in the middle of the cake and press pecan pieces all over the frosted areas.
- This can be served warm or cooled.
