Keto Carrot Cake Roll
Ingredients:
For the Carrot Cake:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (granulated)
- 1/2 cup grated carrot
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper and grease lightly with cooking spray.
- Prepare the Carrot Cake Batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sweetener until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and almond milk to the egg mixture and mix well.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, followed by the grated carrot. Stir until well combined.
- Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it to form an even layer.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is set and springs back when touched.
- Roll the Cake:
- Lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust it lightly with powdered sweetener.
- Once the cake has cooled slightly, carefully invert it onto the towel. Peel off the parchment paper.
- Roll the cake up with the towel (starting from the short end) and let it cool completely.
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Slowly add the heavy cream and beat until light and fluffy.
- Assemble the Roll:
- Unroll the cake carefully and spread the cream cheese filling evenly across the surface.
- Gently roll the cake back up (without the towel), keeping it as tight as possible.
- Chill & Serve:
- Refrigerate the carrot cake roll for at least 1 hour before slicing.
- Dust with a bit more powdered sweetener or garnish with chopped pecans if desired.
