Equipment
- Mixing Bowl, measuring cups, measuring spoons, spatula, whisk, electric mixer, food processor, 8 inch cake pan, parchment paper.
Ingredients
- 1/3 c Coconut Oil
- 1/3 c Water
- 8 drops Stevia SweetLeaf Vanilla
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
- 1/4 c Chopped Pecans Reserve 1 Tablespoon to sprinkle on top of frosting
- 1/8 cup Shredded Coconut Unsweetened
- 1/4 cup Carrot Shredded
- 3 Eggs Large
- 1 Box Swerve Sweets Vanilla Cake Mix 12 Servings per Box
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. If you are using a convection oven, set temperature to 325°F.
- Prepare Swerve Sweets Vanilla Cake Mix according to directions on the box using cake mix, 3 large eggs, Coconut Oil, Water and Vanilla (or SweetLeaf Vanilla)
- Add cinnamon, cloves, pecans, coconut and shredded carrot to the batter. Mix well.
- Pour cake batter into parchment lined baking pan. I use an 8" square pan, the box instructions recommend an 8" round, either pan will work.
- Bake in pre-heated oven per instructions on the box, 25-30 minutes Oven temps may vary, so I recommending testing with a toothpick in the center of the cake at 20 minutes to test for doneness. If toothpick comes out clean - the cake is cooked thoroughly. If the toothpick comes out with batter on it - continue cooking until it comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool before frosting.
- Frost with a low carb cream cheese frosting to make it an traditional Carrot Cake.
