How to Make Carrot Yogurt Cake (No Flour)

PIN IT

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your cake pan with parchment or grease it well.
2. Grate your carrots finely using a box grater. The finer, the better—you want them to melt into the cake.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup (or honey), yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Add almond flour, cinnamon, and baking powder. Mix until just combined.
5. Fold in the grated carrots until evenly distributed.
6. Pour into prepared pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool completely before slicing. (The texture sets beautifully as it rests!)

It fills the kitchen with warm spice as it bakes—a cozy reward on its own.
