Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, granulated monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Add the eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth.
Fold in the finely grated carrot and chopped walnuts.
Spread the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is set.
Allow the cake to cool completely.
For the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve.

Notes

Add unsweetened shredded coconut for extra texture.

Substitute pecans for walnuts if desired.

Add ground ginger or extra cinnamon for a stronger spice flavor.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Freeze unfrosted slices for up to 2 months and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Let chilled slices sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving for the best texture.
