This makes for a tasty cake, with or without frosting! We tried it last year for my mom's birthday, and no one guessed that it was grain-free.
Grain-Free Carrot Cake
3 cups almond flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
5 eggs
½ cup honey
¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
3 cups carrots, grated
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, honey and butter or oil. Stir carrots, raisins and walnuts into wet ingredients. Stir wet ingredients into dry.
Spread batter into a well greased 9 x 13 or two 8-inch round pans. Bake at 325° for 35 minutes. Cool to room temperature and spread with frosting if desired. Serve.
NOTE: This was good with a sprinkling of powdered sugar instead of frosting. When I made cream cheese frosting for it, I used 8 oz. cream cheese, 1/4 c. soft butter, and just enough maple syrup to add a hint of sweet.
