Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cake Roll:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 15×10-inch baking sheet (or similar size) with parchment paper.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
    • In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sweetener until fluffy and pale, about 3-4 minutes. Add the melted butter (or coconut oil) and vanilla extract, and mix well.
    • Stir in the grated carrots, then gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until fully combined.
    • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking sheet, smoothing the top with a spatula.
    • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
    • While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust it with a bit of almond flour or coconut flour.
    • When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and immediately turn it out onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and then roll the cake up in the towel, starting from one short end. Allow the cake to cool while rolled up (about 30 minutes).
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
    • While the cake is cooling, make the filling. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble the Cake Roll:
    • Once the cake has cooled completely, gently unroll it from the towel. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface of the cake, leaving a small border around the edges.
    • Carefully re-roll the cake, this time without the towel. Be gentle to avoid cracking the cake.
    • Place the cake seam-side down on a serving platter.
  4. Serve:
    • Slice the Keto Carrot Cake Roll into rounds and serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with additional sweetener or chopped nuts like pecans if desired.

Tips:

  • For Extra Moisture: Make sure to finely grate the carrots to ensure they integrate well into the batter, providing moisture and flavor.
  • Make Ahead: This cake can be made ahead of time. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days, and you can freeze individual slices for longer storage.
  • Variation: For a festive touch, you can top the cake with chopped walnuts or shredded unsweetened coconut.

This Keto Carrot Cake Roll is a show-stopping dessert that delivers all the classic flavors of carrot cake, without the sugar and carbs. Perfect for special occasions or as a treat to satisfy your sweet tooth on a keto diet! 🥕🎂
