Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Measuring Cup
  • Measuring Spoon
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Grater
  • Small Bowl
  • Mixing Bowl
  • 7” Cake Pan
  • Instant Pot® Trivet/Wire rack

Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cup Stevia
  • 0.75 cup Coconut Oil
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1.5 cups Coconut Flour
  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp Nutmeg
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 2.25 cups, grated Carrots
  • 1 cup Pecan Pieces

Instructions
 

  • Grate the carrots into a small bowl. To get 2 ¼ cups of grated carrots you will need about 2 large carrots. Set aside once grated.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, mix the stevia, coconut oil and vanilla extract. The mix may look a little greasy and broken but that is okay! (is using).
  • Add the eggs to the mix and stir well.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the bowl (coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg) and stir well to combine.
  • Add the shredded carrots and pecan pieces and stir.
  • Pour the batter into a greased 7 inch cake pan (grease the pan with coconut oil or butter) and cover the pan with foil to prevent moisture from touching the cake during the cooking process.
  • Place the metal rack in the Instant pot and then add 2 cups of water to the bottom of the pot. Lower the cake into the Instant Pot® and set it on top of the metal trivet.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot® and seal, making sure the steam valve is also set to “seal”. Press the “Steam” button and set the timer for 45 minutes. The Instant Pot® will take a few minutes to reach the full temperature and then it will begin the countdown on the timer.
  • When the timer goes off, do a manual pressure release by carefully opening the steam valve to let the steam escape from the Instant Pot®. Lift the cake out of the pot and remove the foil. Use a dry paper towel to dab off any water that may have gotten on top of the cake.
  • Let the cake cool and then ice the cake with Keto friendly cream cheese frosting and serve!
