Choosing a low-carb flour for this keto carrot cake was a little challenging. Even though I love almond flour, I know many people have nut allergies, so I attempted coconut flour.

But, almond flour carrot cake just turned out so much better, I had to go with that. If you can’t have almond flour, you might be able to get away with using ground sunflower seed meal instead. Of course, you’d also have to skip the pecans if you have a nut allergy.

If you don’t have an allergy-related reason not to, I highly recommend making this low-carb carrot cake with almond flour. It turned out so moist and flavorful! I served it to guests and they kept asking if I was sure that it had no wheat flour or sugar in it.
