Ingredients

Carrot Cake:

• 1/2 cup / 100g shredded/grated carrot
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tbsp double/heavy cream
• 3/4 cup / 75g almond flour or ground almonds, I use this brand
• 10 g / small handful walnuts, crushed
• 2 tbsp powdered erythritol, I use this brand
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp pumpkin spice / mixed spice
• 1 tsp baking powder, I use this brand

---

Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 2 tbsp full-fat cream cheese
• 1 tsp powdered erythritol, I use this brand

---

Instructions

1. Mix your dry ingredients – almond flour, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, baking powder, powdered erythritol, and crushed walnut pieces.
2. Add the wet ingredients- grated carrot, melted butter, double/heavy cream.
3. Fill the carrot cake batter into 2 well-greased ramekins (I used melted butter) or 1 pyrex glass bowl and microwave for 5 minutes at 800W (or 6 minutes at 700W).
4. Turn upside down onto a plate and serve with cream cheese frosting (cream cheese mixed with powdered erythritol). Decorate with more crushed walnuts and grated carrots. Or eat straight from the ramekin!

[bs_icon name=”glyphicon glyphicon-tag”] Notes

You can make this Keto carrot cake WITH AND WITHOUT EGG. If you choose to omit the egg, add an additional 1 tbsp of double/heavy cream. You won’t be able to turn it out onto a plate – just eat it straight from the bowl/mug.

If you don’t have pumpkin / mixed spice, sub with 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.

If you want to bake the cake in the oven, try 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.

[bs_icon name=”glyphicon glyphicon-heart”] Tip: 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’re not sure how to set your microwave to a lower power level or to 700-800W, microwave for 2 1/2 minutes instead and check if your cake is done.
