Instructions
- Cream cheese Icing: Beat together the cream cheese and butter for 2 minutes. Add sweetener and beat for 2-3 minutes until all mixed together.
- Add the vanilla and 1 tbsp. heavy cream, beat to combine. Add more heavy cream and beat until fluffy.
- For The Keto Carrot Cake Layers: Preheat oven to 350 F. Line the bottoms of two 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper. Grease over the parchment and the sides of the pans. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the eggs and monk fruit sweetener for 5 minutes on medium-high speed, until fluffy. Add vanilla extract.
- In a bowl, sift together the coconut flour, almond flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture. Mix minimally to avoid drying out the batter.
- Add the coconut, stir to combine. Add carrots, mix to combine.
- Add the melted butter at the end, mix to incorporate.
- Divide the batter between both pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool inside the pans for 10-15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a cooling rack. Let them cool completely.
- To Assemble: Spread icing over the first layer of carrot cake. Carefully place the second cake on top of the already iced cake. Ice the top layer of the cake.
- Top the cake off with chopped walnuts and sprinkle with coconut shavings.
