Ingredients:
Cake
¼ c Coconut Flour
1 ¾ c Almond Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 c Shredded Carrots
5 eggs Room Temperature
½ c Allulose to taste. We are not fans of overly sweet cake, but you can test the batter. Erythritol will not add any carbs or calories. GRANULATED
¼ c Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
1 tsp salt
¾ c Olive Oil
¼ c Unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Frosting
4 tbsp Heavy Cream *add one tablespoon at a time until fluffy. See post.
8 ounces Cream Cheese room temperature
