Flourless Carrot Cake is fluffy and moist made with 9 real ingredients and topped with a white chocolate drizzle! You would never believe it’s healthy! paleo and with a vegan option!
Coming back at ya with another flourless recipe becuase that’s what we do best💁
We’ve made so many variations, it was so natural that this carrot cake version was next. Carrot cake reminds me of spring and warmer weather, which we are FINALLY getting. After what it seemed like a million blizzards we had on the east coast, the warmer weather is much needed. And so is carrot cake.
To be honest, carrot cake isn’t my favorite type of cake. I usually go for a more decadent chocolate version, but I think I have rekindled my love for it after this recipe!
In another light, lets talk quick about Jesus. With Easter coming up, we must recognize that he was cruxified to save our sins. How amazing is that? And you’re probably thinking, what does Jesus have to do with carrot cake? The answer: everything! He is the reason we celebrate on Easter and make delicious carrot cake 🙂
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
-Romans 5:8
