Table of contents
What ingredients do I need for the carrot cake without flour?
Are you ready to get started? Let me just say a few words about the ingredients. After all, you should know what you're eating.
Most people only know carrot cake with lots of table sugar and white flour. But not this time, because this time I've come up with something really great for you. This cake will be healthy.😋
So Sugar free and white flour.
Carrots
Probably the most important ingredient in this recipe is Carrots. The cake is a great way to use up carrots that are already slightly wrinkly.
After peeling, you must peel the carrots very carefully. rub finely - I use a food processor for this - but it also works by hand with a vegetable slicer.🥕
Honey
Yes, honey is great for baking. It gives desserts a Pleasant sweetness and the great, typical honey taste.
If you wish, you can also exchange honey for Birch sugar*, Erythritol*Maple syrup, rice syrup, Coconut blossom sugar* and much more Replace
You may need to take more or less of it - depending on your taste and which sweetener you have chosen.😊
Unfortunately, honey loses many of its positive properties, such as anti-inflammatory properties, when baked. That's why I use it in toppings - it retains everything.
In principle, honey can be used quite wonderfully with Cinnamon*, carrots and Nuts combine. The main ingredients for the cake therefore harmonize wonderfully with each other.
Eggs
As the carrot cake is flourless, there is nothing to bind it. Here come Eggs into play.🥚
When they are heated, they solidify and bind the nuts and carrots together. By the way, in many recipes you can use Eggs through Applesauce replace and cake recipes through it vegan prepare.
This trick is also pretty handy if you get a stomach ache from eggs.
Nuts
In most carrot desserts end up a few nuts. But in this one it's a little different - the carrot cake without flour comes namely completely without white flour.
I love the taste of Hazelnuts. That's why I opted for hazelnuts in this recipe. If you like, you can also use Almonds use or Walnuts. Or you can simply mix the nut varieties. There are no limits to your imagination here.😋
Nuts bring a lot healthy fats into the recipe and ensure that the carrot cake does not require flour. The nuts simply replace the white flour.
Unlike white flour, they are packed with protein, fiber and unsaturated (healthy) fatty acids.
They also contain vitamins (especially B vitamins) and the minerals potassium, sodium, magnesium and phosphorus. Cheers to the nut!
Ginger
What's ginger doing in a carrot cake? Ginger brings a whole Special spice into the cake.
But don't worry, you won't taste the ginger dominating the cake. It's just a pleasant aftertaste that provides a fresh finish.
Coconut flakes and coconut oil
They are the Main components of the Frostings. If you're not a big fan of coconut, you can simply replace the frosting with another one or leave it out.
This cake topping is one of my favorites. Because it is simply prepared and quite healthy compared to other frostings.
I don't use sugar in this recipe either. You can also replace the honey with Erythritolreplace *. I recommend you Powdered sugarto avoid sugar crystals 😁.
