Ingredients

Cake Layer

¼ cup coconut oil
¼-1/3 cup granulated sugar of choice*
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
½ Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 cup almond flour
1.5 cup thinly shredded carrot
2 Tbsp raisins
2 Tbsp walnuts

Crust

½ cup coarsely ground almonds
2 Tbsp coconut oil
¼ tsp baking soda

Instructions

First, prepare the nut base by mixing ½ cup coarsely ground almonds, 2 Tbsp coconut oil, ¼ tsp baking soda together
Press the nut base onto parchment-lined 7×7 or another pan about this size.
In another bowl, cream coconut oil and sugar together until well mixed.
Add the rest of the ingredients, mixing the carrots/raisins/walnuts last.
Pour and press the batter over the nut base
Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

*Coconut, date, or raw/turbinado sugar are less processed granulated sugars I would recommend. Honey and maple syrup should also work, but I have not yet tried. For keto options, you could also use stevia powder (but be sure to convert according to package directions)
