    • 1 teaspoon baking soda

    Wet Ingredients

    • 3 large eggs
    • 6 tablespoon melted butter
    • 1 tablespoon real vanilla extract
    • 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses or sugar-free maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon liquid stevia or liquid monk fruit (optional for added sweetness)
    • 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice

    Mixins

    • 1 cup freshly grated carrots (110g)
    • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

    Cream Cheese Frosting

    • 4 ounces cream cheese(organic, pasture-raised)
    • 1 tablespoon sour cream(organic, pasture-raised)
    • 2 tablespoon powdered sweetener(swerve, monk fruit)
    • 1/2 teaspoon real vanilla extract

Directions

  • Carrot Cake
  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Grate carrots if using them. If you choose to buy pre-shredded that is fine
  • Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl
  • In a separate bowl combine all wet ingredients
  • Mix the dry and wet ingredients and scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is combined
  • If using carrots or nuts fold them in here
  • Place in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until you can stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean


  • Cream Cheese Frosting
  • Cream sour cream and cream cheese together
  • Next mix in powdered sweetener. 
  • Then mix until smooth
  • Add in the extract here and enjoy

Notes

  • Skipping the cream cheese frosting is an option. It will save on calories and this cake is delicious enough to eat without it. 
  • Pecans or walnuts? I prefer walnuts but pecans work well as you can see in the photos. Yet, walnuts just give it a flavor that pecans lack for this particular cake. Whichever you have on hand works.
  • Add liquid sweetener for more sweetness. Even with the blackstrap molasses, this cake isn't very sweet due to the spices. For someone wanting a sweet cake add liquid sweetener I promise it'll do the trick.
