Low Carb Carrot Cake | Gluten, Grain & Sugar Free
It's Easter in one week and that means time for carrot cake! Really, it's time for carrot cake during the whole spring! This healthy version is made gluten free coconut flour and has a delicious cream cheese Greek yogurt frosting to pack it with protein! Some crunchy pecans and coconut flakes give the perfect texture inside this fluffy carrot cake!
This is a lower carb carrot cake, so we're using erythritol as the sweetener. You could probably use another sugar free sweetener but I have not tried! If you want to make this dairy free you can use dairy free yogurt and dairy free cream cheese! A carrot cake for everyone!

FULL RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS:
For the cake:
1 1/4 Cups + 2 Tbsp Coconut flour, sifted (136g)*
4 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg
9 Large eggs
1 Cup + 2 Tbsp Erythritol Sweetener (I used swerve) **
1/2 Cup + 2 Tbsp Plain non fat Greek yogurt
2 tsp Vanilla extract
4 Cups Carrot, grated and lightly packed (392g or about 7 large carrots)
3/4 Cup Pecans, diced (85g) *** + additional for garnish (optional)
1/2 Cup Unsweetened coconut flakes (27g)
For the frosting:
12 Oz Light cream cheese, at room temperature (1.5 bricks)
3/4 Cup Plain non fat Greek yogurt
3 tsp Vanilla extract
1 1/2 Cup Powdered Erythritol Sweetener (I used swerve)
DIRECTIONS:
For the cake:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line two 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper, spraying the exposed sides with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together the coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda and powder, salt and nutmeg.
In a separate, large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the eggs, sweetener, Greek yogurt and vanilla until well combined. Stir in the coconut flour mixture and stir until combined.
Gently fold in the carrots, pecans and coconut flakes until well combined. Let the batter stand for 10 minutes so the coconut flour can begin to absorb the moisture. Your batter will be thick, this is normal.
Divide the batter evenly between the 2 pans, spreading out smoothly. Bake until the sides are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35-40 minutes. Let cool COMPLETELY before frosting.
To make the frosting:
In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese and yogurt on high speed until fluffy. Add in the vanilla and beat until combined.
Set the mixer on low speed and gradually add in the powdered sweetener, until you've added all of it and it's well combined. Return to high speed and beat for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is fluffy.
To frost:
Place one layer bottom side up on a cake stand. Spread 3/4 cup of the frosting all over it evenly. Then, place the other cake bottom side up gently on top.
Spread a thin layer of frosting all over the cake to make the crumb coat. It doesn't have to be pretty, it's just to seal in the crumbs. Chill for at least an hour, up to overnight. Put the remaining frosting in the fridge too, so it starts to firm up.
Once chilled, frost the entire cake. I find an offset spatula really helps! Garnish with extra pecans, if desired.
DEVOUR!
NOTES:
*like all gluten free baking, please weigh your flour to ensure results as different brands have different weights.
**You can PROBABLY use whatever sugar free sweetener you prefer. However, only Swerve has been tested with this recipe. You could also use regular sugar, but will obviously change the nutritional information.
***Make sure you cut the pecans very small or it makes it hard to cut the cake as they make it break in areas.

Chocolate Yogurt Cake Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com
Recipe here: Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make a Chocolate Yogurt Cake. Cakes don't have to be complicated to make. And they don't have to be multi-layered with an over abundance of frosting. For everyday, I like to make a single layer cake where the batter is just dump and stir. This Chocolate Yogurt Cake is one such cake. It has a wonderfully dense and moist texture and a delicious chocolate flavor. It is really good without the Chocolate Glaze, but I just couldn't resist increasing the chocolate flavor and I also like how its surface has a shiny gloss. If you like, you can garnish the glaze with chocolate sprinkles (I like Cacao Barry Vermicelles Fins Chocolat), candy sprinkles, or even toasted nuts.
