What It Tastes Like

Imagine biting into tender, moist cake where fragrant ginger and cinnamon mingle with the sweet, earthy notes of carrot—like a hug from your nonna.

Health & Seasonal Relevance

Almond flour brings healthy fats and protein; carrots add fiber and beta‑carotene. The spices shake off winter chill and brighten the season!

Ingredients

1 cup finely shredded carrots
3 large eggs
⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
1½ cups almond flour
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cloves
1 tsp gluten‑free baking powder (if needed)
Pinch of salt

Tools Needed

1 Mixing bowl
Grater
Measuring cups & spoons
Loaf pan or round cake pan (lined)
Fork or whisk

Substitutions & Additions

Swap almond flour for superfine oat flour (keep it ratio‑for‑ratio, though texture will shift).
Vegan? Use flax eggs and coconut oil—but texture will be a bit denser.
Extras: Stir in ½ cup raisins or chopped pecans for delightful texture.

How to Make Flourless Gingerbread Carrot Cake

Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Line your pan—this step makes all the difference when you’re cleaning up later!
Beat the eggs, then whisk in maple syrup (or honey)—you’ll smell that sweet warmth already and feel yourself smile.
Fold in the shredded carrots—watch them swirl into the mix, each strand glowing.
Add almond flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently until just combined—you want it like a sweet, rustic batter that chases that cozy scent through your kitchen.
Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
Bake for 25–30 minutes (or 35–40 for a deeper color), until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs—and your kitchen smells like autumn in fond memory.
Let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.

What to Serve with Flourless Gingerbread Carrot Cake

A dollop of lightly whipped cream or crème fraîche for tang.
Warm chai tea or coffee with a splash of milk—that spice pairing is divine.
A scoop of vanilla bean ice cream if you’re feeling indulgent.

Tips for Making It Perfect

Don’t skip lining the pan—it prevents crumbling.
Freshly grated ginger? Brings a zing. Ground ginger? Cozy and classic.
Want slices uniform? Rest the cake overnight before cutting.

Storage Instructions

Store loosely wrapped or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To freeze: wrap tightly and place in a freezer bag—lasts up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use all-purpose flour instead?
Yes, substitute like-for-like—but the cake will be lighter and less nutty.
Is it nut‑free?
Not without swaps! Try oat or sunflower seed flour for a nut-free alternative, but results may differ in texture.
What sweetener works best?
Maple syrup adds depth and warmth; honey is more assertive. Brown rice syrup or agave are milder but fun to experiment with.
Can I reduce sugar?
You can lower maple syrup to ¼ cup, but expect a denser, less sweet cake.
Why no flour?
Almond flour brings moistness, richness, and makes it naturally gluten‑free—plus, it’s a healthier alternative to refined flour.
