Skinny Gluten Free Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting



Ingredients:
2 cups Almond Flour (or we love grinding raw Almonds to a fine mealy powder in small batches with a coffee grinder or food processor-not too long or it will become nut butter. Sift and regrind any large bits- measure after ground, but almond meal makes a much denser cake
2 tsp. GF Baking Soda- I use Arm and Hammer
2 tsp. GF Cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Coconut Oil  (or for lower fat try 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce)
½ tsp. Sweet Leaf Stevia or raw powdered Stevia Leaf or 1 tablespoon honey
1 cup Raisin Sauce (see bottom of page for instructions)
1 tsp. pure GF Vanilla Extract or flavor
3 cups grated Carrots
4 Eggs
½ cup chopped Walnuts or shredded coconut (check package label for cross contamination)


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 9x9x2'' pan.
Mix together in a large bowl of your mixer the Almond Flour, Baking Soda, Cinnamon, Salt
Blend in the oil or applesauce, Stevia, Raisin Sauce, Vanilla
then add Eggs or egg substitute, one at a time, beating well after each time.
fold in by hand the grated Carrots, Walnuts
Bake 30-40 minutes. or till done.
Frost with Cream Cheese frosting (recipe to follow)
