Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Carrot Shredded and Divided. About 1.5 large carrots. Divided: 1.25 cups in the batter, .25 cups for garnish.
- ½ cup Pecans Chopped. + more for garnish (optional)
- ¼ cup Walnuts Chopped + more for garnish (optional)
- 1.5 boxes Keto Yellow Cake Mix 15.9 ounces for the kind I use
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Cloves
- 4 Eggs 4 Jumbo or 5 Large Eggs
- ¾ cup Water
- 4.5 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Melted
- 11 ounces Keto Vanilla Icing 1 container
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Shred 1.5 cups Carrot. Set aside. Chop ½ cup Pecans and ¼ cup Walnuts, if smaller pieces are desired. (I was fine with the size of “chopped” nuts from the bag and didn’t do any more chopping.)1.5 cups Carrot, ½ cup Pecans, ¼ cup Walnuts
- Pour the cake mix bag (from 1.5 boxes Keto Yellow Cake Mix) of dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon Cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon Ground Cloves. Whisk together.1.5 boxes Keto Yellow Cake Mix, 1 tablespoon Cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon Ground Cloves
- Add in your 4 Eggs, ¾ cup Water, and melted 4.5 tablespoons Unsalted Butter. Mix until completely combined.4 Eggs, ¾ cup Water, 4.5 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- Fold in 1.25 cups of shredded carrot and ¾ cup chopped nuts.1.5 cups Carrot, ½ cup Pecans, ¼ cup Walnuts
- Pour the batter into a greased 9” x 13” pan / baking dish.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 - 30 minutes, until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before icing it.11 ounces Keto Vanilla Icing
- To make it faster to ice, I microwaved the container of icing for 30 seconds and then stirred it. This isn’t necessary, but I was in a hurry and this made it easier to spread the icing quickly.
Equipment
- Grater to shred the carrot
- Nut chopper (optional) if you either can’t find chopped nuts or just want them to have a smaller size
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- 9” x 13” Cake Pan I used a glass Pyrex dish for this. Yes, I know that it’s better to use a plain metal pan, but I like my pans / dishes to have lids for easy storage of leftovers or even pre-serving (if I happen to make my cake the day before). My Pyrex dishes all have lids, my metal pans do not.
- Non-stick Cooking Spray
