INGREDIENTS
• 3 cups almond flour
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon

• ½ cup honey
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• 3 cups carrots, grated and chopped finely

1 Preheat oven to 325 F.
2 In a large bowl, combine almond flour, salt, baking
soda and the spices. Mix well.
3 In a medium bowl, combine eggs, honey and
coconut oil. Once blended, add in the carrots
and walnuts. Make sure the eggs are not cold as
it will make the coconut oil become solid if they
are.
4 Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the larger
bowl of dry ingredients, stirring constantly.
2. 5 Grease two 9 inch pie dishes and pour equal
portions of the batter into each. Bake for about
40 minutes.
6 Allow the individual cakes to cool for at least 20
minutes. Do so to prevent the cakes from melting
the icing.
7 Once cooled, remove the cakes from the baking
dish and place one on a large serving plate. Ice
the top and side surfaces of the cake. Stack the
other cake on top of the iced one. Ice all exposed
surfaces of this cake. Add additional icing to the
seam where the two cakes connect if desired.
