1 ½ cups finely grated carrots

2 large eggs

½ cup almond flour

¼ cup mashed dates

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Directions

I preheat the oven to 350°F and line a small cake pan with parchment paper.

I whisk the eggs, vanilla, and mashed dates in a bowl until smooth.

I add the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, then mix gently.

I fold in the finely grated carrots until the batter is evenly combined.

I pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

I bake it for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cake is set and lightly golden.

I let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.

Variations

I sometimes add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch. I also like adding a little nutmeg or ginger for a warmer spice flavor. For a sweeter cake, I mix in a few extra mashed dates.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover carrot cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I like eating it chilled, but I can also warm a slice gently in the microwave for a few seconds.

FAQs

Can I make this carrot cake without almond flour?

I prefer almond flour because it keeps the cake moist and flourless, but another finely ground nut flour may work.

Is this cake sweet enough without sugar?

I find it lightly sweet from the carrots and dates. For more sweetness, I add a little extra mashed dates.

Can I use store-bought date paste?

Yes, I can use store-bought date paste instead of mashed dates.

Can I freeze this carrot cake?

Yes, I freeze slices in an airtight container for up to 2 months. I thaw them in the refrigerator before serving.

Why should I let the cake cool completely?

I let it cool completely because the texture firms up as it cools, making it easier to slice.

Conclusion

This no sugar flourless carrot cake is a simple, wholesome treat I can make with everyday ingredients. I love its moist texture, warm cinnamon flavor, and natural sweetness.
