Notes

Notes

  • Serving tip: Let the cake cool down a bit and serve with a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top – simply heavenly!
  • To prepare the perfect sugar-free, flour-free carrot cake, first measure and prepare all ingredients. Start by grating the carrots so they can be evenly incorporated into the batter. The order is crucial for the taste experience!
  • Give your sugar-free, flour-free carrot cake a personal touch by using almonds or pecans instead of walnuts. For a fruity twist, you can also add pineapple pieces or dried cranberries.
  • To preserve the moist texture of your sugar-free, flour-free carrot cake, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This way, it stays fresh and juicy without drying out.
  • Use freshly grated carrots for more moisture and a more intense flavor in your cake.
  • Be sure to keep a close eye on the baking time; every oven is different and can affect the result.
  • For extra fluffiness, you can beat the eggs separately and then carefully fold them in.
  • Store the carrot cake in the refrigerator.
  • Heat it slightly in the oven.
  • Serve with a yogurt sauce.
  • Use fresh spices for more flavor.
  • The sugar-free, flour-free carrot cake can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator. Make sure to pack it well so it stays fresh. At room temperature, it should not be left for longer than two days. If you plan to store it longer, you can also freeze it. Cut the cake into pieces and store these in a freezer-safe container.
  • You can use other nuts like walnuts or hazelnuts to give your sugar-free, flour-free carrot cake a personal touch. Make sure to coarsely chop the nuts so they are evenly distributed and provide a nice crunch when baked. Experiment with different types of nuts to adjust the taste to your preferences.
  • For the sugar-free, flour-free carrot cake, you can use agar-agar or pectin. Both options are excellent plant-based alternatives to animal gelatin and ensure that the cake gets a pleasant consistency. Use the recommended amount according to the instructions on the packaging of the chosen gelling agent.
  • Adding other fruits like apples or pineapple can give the sugar-free, flour-free carrot cake additional freshness. Make sure to drain the fruits well beforehand or cut them into small pieces so the dough doesn’t get too moist. Experiment with different combinations for an individual taste – there are no limits to your imagination!
