Makes 1 cake, 12 cupcakes, or 24 mini cupcakes
3 cups almond flour
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1/2 cup erythritol (like Swerve) or spoonable stevia to taste
5 large organic eggs
1/4 cup melted coconut oil or grape seed oil
3 cups shredded carrots
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9 inch cake pans with butter and dust with almond flour. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix well. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil and eggs. Stir the wet ingredients int o the dry ingredients. Fold in the carrots, raisins, and walnuts if desired. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans. The batter will be a bit thick so try to even it carefully by pushing the batter down rather than spreading it.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool for 1 hour before frosting.
