- HOW TO MAKE KETO CARROT CAKE
Carrot Cake is my second favorite cake when I need a keto dessert. First is white cake and then comes carrot cake. I created this keto carrot cake recipe with cream cheese frosting because I needed to satisfy my occasional craving for keto cake. This low carb cake recipe is moist and full of carrot & spice flavor.
This low carb carrot cake is made using REAL carrots. Don’t be afraid of carrots on the keto diet. They are loaded with fiber and vitamins. Sure, they might have carbs, but this keto carrot cake recipe on uses 1 cup of shredded carrots for the entire cake!
I topped my keto carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. This keto frosting has a little extra bite to it because I add some sour cream. You can also use plain yogurt. My favorite keto yogurt is the plain yogurt from PEAK YOGURT. Each container has 24 g of FAT and 4 g CARBS and is delicious on it’s own. Visit their site here: peakyogurt.mys...
Make sure to double the recipe if you love keto cream cheese frosting.

I made this for Easter for my non-Keto friends who love carrot cake...and for me, of course. I made 11 cupcakes with the recipe. It was a HIT. This is my favorite cake and I didn’t miss the non-Keto version. I am grateful for your recipes!
Did you use silicone or metal for baking?... How long did you cook them?
Same question as above!
Besides having one of the best keto channels on CZcams, I’ve never had a bad recipe from you they’re all great I just wanted you to know you were such a beautiful woman as well.
I finally got around to making it today, the recipe worked perfectly, couldn’t tell the difference in taste between this and the real one!! The only changes I made was to use brown stevia instead of golden swerve and pumpkin spice. Thank you so much, for sharing! everyone loved it.
Glad you liked it!! And good to know those substitutes worked in the carrot cake too! Thank you!
I've made this cake twice now and it's so flavorful and delicious! I'm making it again today.
W.O.W!!!! I am not a baker, so when I try recipes, I look for simple and yummy ones. This recipe here is both: simple and DELICIOUS! If you don't say it is "Keto" no one will know. It is very moist and it has the perfect balance of sweet taste. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It is a keeper!
Cannot believe how simple and delicious this cake turned out! Big hit with the kids and my mother, thank you for the recipe. For anyone who tends to find things are sometimes too sweet, I used 1/4c less sweetener in the cake and only half the amount in the icing and it was perfect! New sub!
Im glad you liked the recipe!! 🤗
How are you doing?
Ok so I made this and let me tell you if I hadn't made it myself i would've never believed anyone that its keto or healthy cake. OMG! THANK YOU soo much. I'm making my second one because my entire family/in laws want more.
JUST MADE IT. This is the first keto cake I've made and its seriously the best cake I've ever had! I highly suggest matching the cinnamon with cardamom and omitting nutmeg. The cardamom smell and taste is heavenly
How are you doing?
I tried this cake and even halved your recipe. Used walnuts. It was delicious! I was able to cut the cake in half and make a double -layer frosting. It almost stayed in the oven too long at 29 minutes... one of the best keto cakes! Oh, I don't use swerve, but used 100% monkfruit by Julian Bakery.
How are you doing?
This carrot cake is really delicious. Thank you.
You talk about a white cake that you love. Is it the white eggs cake? My English is not perfect and I'm not sure that I understand exactly what you said. But I understand enough to make your recipe...😅.
I was sooo scared to do this😭Then i made it yesterday Aug 29,2019.Oh my goodness..this was the best cake i have Ever made😋😋😋😋❤❤❤❤❤THAAAANNNK You...I Love it🥰
You're welcome! This is one of my favs too.
Awww that’s my birthday lol
@@yanesedouglas2341 Thats my sons bday. I am scared to try too but I am next weekend
Hello
I've made this recipe 5 times and everyone loves it. Thank you for coming up with a healthy version of carrot cake. Just love it!
First cake that wasn’t dry. Thank you thank you. First time came out perfect.will be making it again,thank you for sharing.
Good to know. I was wondering because most keto cakes are dry
How are you doing?
@@gulfportgyrl8798And it LOOKS dry. I'm going to try it though. Excited!
It was delicious, cant wait to have more tomorrow morning with my coffee. THANK YOU!
thanks for sharing this recipe. first time to baked carrot cake actually made it into cupcakes baked it at 350F for 15mins. had left over cream cheese frosting. it was moist and good.
How are you doing?
I tried this yesterday and it was amazing definitely satisfied my craving for carrot cake. Thank you for these recipes.
Made this last weekend (double batch) & it is spot-on!! 🎯 Absolutely delicious!! People preferred it over “Nothing Bundt Cakes’s” carrot cake that someone else bought!! Clean carrot cake for the win!!👏🏼 🏆❤️. It’s going in the holiday family cookbook, permanently! Thank you!!!
I like carrot cake so much and being on Keto, this is my downfall! I tried your recipe and it is hands down one of the best carrot cake I ever had! Way better than the store bought! My husband who is not on keto cannot stop eating it! I will definitely make this again to share with my mom who loves carrot cake and is diabetic. Thank you❤️
Aww, you’re sweet.
Omg tho
How are you doing?
Yes, this is perfect, my sister is gluten free, I am keto, my mom is diabetic, and our husbands and kids will have had enough sugar. I am in charge of desserts and looking forward to having this at Easter along with a lemon/egg custard and pecan crust torte. Happy Easter/Passover! God is good!
"Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows.
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned-every one-to his own way... from Isaiah 53
Just made this with only the 1/2 of white swerve granular sugar AND the frosting I only used one bar of cream cheese, some vanilla and the same swerve granular sugar ITS PERFECT! I’m a huge carrot cake girl and this beats all the over priced carrot cakes from local bakeries! It’s incredible I highly recommend!
Just made this cake yesterday for my husband's birthday. Needless to say, it was loved by all!! Thanks for the recipe.!!
Wonderful! I'm so glad everyone liked it. 😀
made this last week and making again this week! I used less sweetener and we loved it:) Thank you!
This recipe Amazing!! I had all the ingredients in steps for a long time so when I bought the shredded carrots it worked out great!!! It tastes Truely not Diet and its very very satisfying to the taste it tastes like real Carrot cake that is Not KETO or the original sugar filled cake. Even the KETO frosting just very very similar to buttercream very satisfying and just a piece is so filling!! Again very recommended for anyone on KETO or just Dieting! Great recipe KETOFocus Great for Easter for anyone! 👏👏👏👏👏
Just made it for my parents since my father is diabetic. Came out soo good!! Thank you for sharing!!🙏👍
Wonderful! Glad everyone enjoyed the carrot cake!
Omg what did you dad say? My mom is diabetic and I want to surprise her with one.
Hello
I just had this for Easter dessert. It was so good.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I made it and came out so good! Thank you!! 😊
Hello
Thank you for this recipe. My Fiance has been craving carrot cake and this really hot the spot. So freaking good. I added 1/2 cup of Lakanto golden sweetener instead of 1/4 to the cake, and I actually think it could have used a little more for our sweetness needs threshold, but the texture and crumb are beautiful. I used macadamia nuts instead of pecans because I absolutely love macadamia, and they worked perfectly. I'm likely going to use this to make cup cakes next time.
Thank you for the recipe. I just made this tonight and it turned out really well. I changed the frosting slightly and made it just with cream cheese, some Greek yogurt and maple syrup. The cake was fab.
So glad you liked it ❤️
Thank you 🙏 . I already tried the recipe . I didn't have one of the sugars but any way it came out delicious😋
How are you doing?
Thank you for this excellent recipe , I am on keto and intermittent fasting for exactly a year and was craving for good cakes. By far this is one of the best keto cake 🥰
Im glad you liked the recipe!! 🤗
How are you doing?
Keto is the way to go.
Totally!!! I feel so much better eating this way!
I’ve made this twice now. Even my non-keto friends love the taste. They say, tastes just like the real thing. Carrot cake is my all time favourite and my one true weakness. 😘😋👍🏻
Thank you for this delicious recipe.
Hahahah the beginning took me out “what’s up doc”
I'm back because this is the Only carrot Cake recipe I Love ❤.. My birthday is July 22nd And You do it for me every year❤❤❤❤❤❤Thank You
Guys I made this and it is so good trust me no flaws at all!
Thanks Caitlyn! It's one of my favorite recipes. I always make is around Easter, but really I should make it more often because it's delicious. 😊
KetoFocus You really have to be very talented in the kitchen to make a cake taste so good and at the same time make it healthier so great job with this one for sure!
That's epic and making me hungry! Nice job on the editing too ✨🥳
Hello Nevin
I've looked at about five different recipes and this is my favorite it's the most simplest. I have all the ingredients and I'm making this in one week in honor of my birthday
Awesome! You will love this recipe!!! It's my favorite!!
Happy Birthday. Let us know how it came out
@@noelsturrup3817 the recipe came out excellent! I am shocked and how wonderful it tasted and I'm maintaining my recent 60 lb weight loss. In two weeks I'm going to make it again but I'm going to make a 9 inch version 2 layer that alone is a testament to how good it was. There was only one discrepancy the size of the pan that she actually using the video was a 6in rather than a 4in. Other than that it was all good
@@clova1978 Sweet!
@@clova1978 Thank you for the update!
I just tried this recipe and OMG indeed it is the best Carrot Cake. I just added some toasted coconut for toppings to add texture..
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the carrot cake! Toasted coconut sounds amazing on this. 😀
This Keto Carrot Cake recipe is AMAZING!! I made it last weekend for a get together and it was a huge hit. My friends asked for the recipe so thank you for sharing because I know I will be making this again and again for my family!!!!
Wonderful!!! So glad it was a big hit! My non keto family loves this recipe too!
I want to specially appreciate you for being a big fan. Thanks for your love and nice comments on my post, it means a lot to me and I would like to know more about you and how long you have been a good fan of mine Okay
I like your carrot bite most, so I gave you like before even watching the video!(:
I made this cake over the weekend and it is absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend. You will not be disappointed.
Recently put my whole family on Keto for overall health and longevity reasons (we’re all relatively lean). But I would LOVE to try this recipe, since I know they’re hating me for taking away all my famous cakes! My husband specifically asked for a Keto carrot cake, and I said... I think we can make that happen. Thanks for this:)
How are you doing?
Yes. Using parchment on the bottom of your pans with any keto recipe in baking is KEY. Otherwise the baked goods do not fall out of the pan.
Looks delicious! Definitely going to bake this!!
Btw...4 inch cake, too cute! My hubby would eat this in one sitting. No joke.
Lol! Mine would too
How are you doing?
This cake is truly the best keto cake I've ever tasted. Thank you so much! I made it last night for my son's birthday party, and it was phenomenal. Happy New Year!
That’s so awesome! Im glad you liked the recipe!! 🤗 Happy New Year 🎊
Oh my, I'm making this for Easter !! Thank you 😊🍰🍴
You're welcome! I'm making it too. I made it last year and everyone loved it...including my non keto family.
Thank you for this! Made for my husband’s birthday and he loved it!
I was hesitant & nervous to try this out since I’ve never baked before & I was a bit skeptical about this recipe since I’ve had a few keto products that weren’t good at all. Well, I’m glad I gave this a try! It was relatively easy to make (although ingredients can be pricey). It was an instant hit for my dad who isn’t on Keto & hates cakes in general. I’m making this again next weekend 😊
P.s. I left my cake baking an extra 3 minutes, I used candied pecans and I used an 8 inch cake pan.
I made this the other day and it tasted so good. I used Sukrin Gold for my “brown sugar” replacement. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Wonderful! Im glad you liked the recipe!! 🤗
How are you doing?
@@richardmcallen2641
I am well, and you?
I'm definitely making this for Easter!! Carrot cake is my all time favorite. I even had it as my wedding cake!!! Thank you
Really?! I love carrot cake too! It's one of those foods either you love it or hate it!
I used the frosting recipe on my vanilla swerve cake mix cupcakes. This is the best frosting recipe I have ever tried and I’ve made quite a few. I’ll have to make make that carrot cake, it looks delicious. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
How are you doing?
OMG!! SO YUM! so easy to follow too! My batter ended up being a bit more liquidy than yours looked but it didn't matter in the end because it came out amazing! I used a 9 x 13 pan and cooked it for a bit longer like about 40 mins. The icing was my favorite keto icing by far!! and im not a huge icing person even before keto. I would suggest for folks who make with a 9 x 13 to reduce the amount of icing you make because i ended up with leftovers (which is fine i just used it for lemon cupcakes i made the next day). Anyways 5 stars & I'm subscribed now!
OMG I can not say enough about this cake I cant even tell the difference. I just want to say thank you for coming to my life
I’m so glad you like the carrot cake recipe! It’s one of my favs too!
You did a great job frosting the cake. It looks delicious. Going to make it sometime this weekend.
How are you doing?
Made this a few times already. Best keto carrot cake ever. Family members aren't keto but they love this cake to bits.
Thank you! I’m so glad you and your family loved the carrot cake!
I made this tonight but I made a few changes. I used Swerve brown sugar instead of the golden swerve because that is what I had. I also did not use cloves as I don't like them but I might try ground ginger next time. In the icing I added a little bit of almond milk to thin it down as I thought it was too thick. I also used a teaspoon of vanilla. And as I used erythritol confectioners and didn't want that cooling effect so I used a bit of liquid stevia with monk fruit to counter act it. This was amazing!! Absolutely delicious. I am going to try to freeze some of this and see how it fares. I will make this again for sure. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for letting us know your changes! It's always very helpful to see other's take on the recipe. It should freeze just fine. Glad you liked it!
Oh I liked it so much that it hasn't made the freezer yet. LOL Have to do that today or I will eat it all. Mmmmmm
Looks really good. Going to try it tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.
Eating it right now. Made it in a square pan, came out fab, frosting on, walnuts on ( my own harvest) even my neighbour loved it. Used plain monkfruit, did not have any golden stuff, but it was great anyway. Thumbs up!
Awesome!! I'm glad you liked the recipe! That's cool you harvested you own walnuts.
You are the best!!! Thanks👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥕🥕🥕🥕
Awwww. Thanks!!
Just want to point out that the pan size is 6 inch and not 4 inch. I made the cake and it got great reviews from everyone, kids and adults alike. The one issue I had is that the cake does not do well with refrigeration. The erythritol crystallizes and the crystals give a gritty texture. Next time, I’ll use a different sweetener, maybe allulose. Again, the cake was great. I’ll definitely make it again and recommend to others.
I had to let you know that I made this cake and it’s the best keto dessert I’ve made so far. Thank you so much for being a blessing!
I found this recipe to be perfect it's not over sweet and takes care of my craving and my sister loves it.. that's a big win
I love carrot cake and I just wanted to say I like your idea with shredded carrot but my mom when she used to make the carrot cake she got her aunt's recipe and she always used carrot baby food in the cake to give it a real nice carrot flavor
Really! I’ll have to try that!!
My boyfriend said if I love him, this will show up one day. Guess I’ll be trying this out 😂😂😂 and girl, your hair and bone structure are so 🔥
He will love this cake!
I tried this yesterday and it is Sooo good!!! Thank you so much for sharing! So happy I found your channel. Quick easy and to the point!
How are you doing?
I made this for the first time & it came out perfect! This is a definate keeper! Thank you:)
I know you posted this recipe 3 years ago but I just tried it. I made cupcakes instead of a cake. Came out amazing. I really appreciate your posting these recipes. I am new to a keto livestyle. I really have enjoyed your website and utub channel. Thank you.
First off all, OMG I'm eating this right now and it's so moist and delicious i cant believe it... also, i don't know if it made a difference, but i sprayed my cake pan with so much avocado oil. Made the bottom so much more moist and amazing. Mm THANKS
Hello
Thank so so much. I doubled the amounts, added one cup of dark brown sugar + 1/4 of the golden one and two slices of pineapple (chopped). It turned out super, just as the ones I make with wheat flour. The sweetness is definitely less since I lessened the sugar.
Sounds delicious with your adjustments!
I failed many times making other cakes but this cake is easy and simple to make. I made this Carrot 🥕 cake twice 😋.
BEST keto desert!! My whole family loved it. Thanks for the videos you've helped me stay focused 😊
Thank you for this wonderful recipe! I just made me some cupcakes for my birthday. They were so good!
Hello Diann
Looks wonderful! If you're not adding shredded coconut you're missing out on some deliciousness! 💗
I like that idea! I’ll have to try it
I just made this with a couple of substitutes. I didn’t have nutmeg or cloves. I added pumpkin spice instead. This is so delicious, Thank you for sharing with us ❤️
I bet pumpkin spice would be delicious too. It's pretty much the same thing!! Glad you liked the recipe!!

While we are low carb high fat it’s ok sometimes to have balance even if it’s a SMALL balance lol
OMG so so good I really love it ❤️ thank you cuz I was thinking about quit keto for a day just to eat a carrot cake and I no longer have to do so this is the real deal
