Healthy Almond Flour Carrot Cake with Monkfruit Sweetener

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

3.In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, monkfruit sweetener, and unsweetened applesauce until smooth and well combined.

4.Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5.Fold in the grated carrots, and if desired, add the chopped walnuts and raisins for extra texture and flavor.

6.Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.

7.Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8.Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
