Keto Carrot Cake with Almond Flour

Instructions:

For the cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract together.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
5. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts (if using) into the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 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. Then, remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

For the cream cheese frosting:

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract and continue to beat until well combined.
