Instructions

How to Bake a Low Carb Carrot Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Spray the loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent your carrot cake from sticking to the pan.

3. 

   Mix the almond flour, soy protein isolate and baking powder together in a small mixing bowl. Use a spoon to avoid causing the dry ingredients to fly everywhere.

4. Mix the eggs, butter and heavy cream in the large mixing bowl. The batter should be creamy in color and thin.

5. Add the vanilla and rum flavorings.Continue to run the mixer at a medium setting as you add these ingredients.

6. Beat in the sugar substitute.The batter will be slightly grainy, but should be even in color and consistency.

7. Mix in the dry ingredients. The batter will still be relatively thin at this point.

8. 

   Stir in the grated carrots.Use a spoon for this step if you want to avoid shredding the carrots with the mixer.

9. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Use the spatula to make sure that you get all of the batter out of the bowl.

10. 

    Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The cake is done when it has pulled away from the sides of the pan and the top is firm to the touch.
