Keto Carrot Cake

I was asked to make a Keto Carrot Cake so here it is!

Make sure you have fresh carrots that taste good.  Bland carrots will make a bland cake.

I made a 2 layer cake, but it might be better to make 1 layer instead of 2 thin cakes.

I would also add some pineapple extract to give it the extra flavor.  In my video, I did not add this because I didn’t have any.  My next one will have pineapple extract.

Since we like to be dairy free, and carrot cake calls for cream cheese frosting, I made Keto Goat Cheese Frosting.  If we have dairy, we prefer goat or sheep to cow dairy.
