Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175ºC/350ºF.

  2. In a mixing bowl, add flaxseeds and water and stir to combine.

  3. Add in applesauce, macadamia oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract, and give a quick mix.

  4. Sift in coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, salt, clove powder, almond flour, and gluten-free all-purpose flour and beat for 30 seconds until well combined and no lumps of flour remain.

  5. Gently fold the grated carrots into the batter and pour everything into a lined loaf pan.

  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

  7. Whisk together the frosting ingredients until smooth and spread across the cooled cake.

  8. Garnish your favorite toppings and enjoy your guilt-free cake.

    Carrot cake–bring it on! I love me some carrot cake, even for breakfast if I’m feeling like being a little bad.
