A classic low carb carrot cake can make a fabulous treat with your morning tea or coffee, and also works well as a dessert. This Low Carb Carrot Cake is fine without icing, however if you are a fan of cream cheese icing, mix cream cheese, lemon juice and 1 tbsp of stevia and ice when cake is cold.
Ingredients:
3 cups grated carrot
5 eggs
1 cup Butter melted
3 tbsp Natvia (granulated)
1 ½ cups Almond meal/flour
2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Cinnamon
½ cup Chopped walnuts
1 tsp Mixed spice
2 tsp Vanilla essence
½ cup Coconut (desiccated or thread)

I love cake, that one is it, but, look at its fat, its far too high, ha ha.

As a descent of Greeks, I know all about cinnamon. My mom used it all the time and it continues to be one of my favourite spices. I even sprinkle a bit on meat sometimes to give it a sweeter taste.
Carrot cake is one of my favourites, I could just eat a piece of that now, it's making my mouth water.
The carrot cake looks delicious... YUM. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
