Instructions

For the Cake:

• In a large bowl, beat together the erythritol and butter until fluffy.

• Next, beat in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and spices. 
• Fold in the shredded carrot and mix just until it is well integrated into the batter. 
• Transfer to prepared pan and bake for 18-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. 
• Allow cooling completely before frosting.

For Cream Cheese Frosting:

• In a medium bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth and uniform. Add the erythritol and vanilla and continue mixing. Add the heavy cream and stir until you have a smooth frosting. Add more heavy cream 1/2 tbsp at a time if your frosting is too thick. 
• When the cake is completely cool, top with the frosting and chopped pecans if desired.
