Low Carb Carrot Cake
Ahh the beloved carrot cake with it’s partner-in-crime, cream cheese frosting! There is nothing better than being able to successfully hide your veggies in desserts, which was definitely what we did when we made this delicious carrot cake!
It is one of our favorite low carb cakes that we’ve ever made simply because it reminds us of regular carrot cake! Make this cake with its delicious cream cheese frosting and you’ll see why.
If your on a keto diet, you can definitely enjoy a slice of this delicious keto carrot cake! We must remember that Keto is a metabolic state, not an ingredient. If you can fit a particular food into your daily carb count and remain in ketosis, then it is okay for your keto diet. This recipe does include carrots (of course) and if it fits in your macros, enjoy a slice or two and don’t feel guilty about it!
How To Make Low Carb Carrot Cake Extra Moist
There aren’t many things more disappointing than a dry, chalky tasting cake. So much potential, wasted… sorry, I’m wiping tears off my keyboard.
The secret to making any cake extra moist is almost always the use of oil. The same is true when it comes to this delicious carrot cake!
But, since vegetable oil and other hydrogenated oils are no bueno, we used olive oil to make this cake nice and moist! It may sound strange, but olive oil works really well, and it does not affect the taste of this cake at all other than making it very moist and yummy!
If you want a nice and moist carrot cake, be sure to use some olive oil!
Low Carb Carrot Cake Add-ins
It goes without saying, but the key ingredient to this yummy carrot cake is… well, plenty of carrots. Fresh carrots give this low carb carrot cake a wonderful flavor. Fresh vegetables are always best, and that is doubly true when it comes to making a delicious carrot cake.
My least favorite vegetable is carrots but there’s something about it being in a cake that instantly makes it my favorite! I guess cake just has a way of doing that…
There is also another important ingredient, and that is your choice of walnuts or pecans. We chose chopped pecans to go inside this cake and on top of the frosting to garnish and it did not disappoint!
Using nuts is also a great and tasty way to pack even more nutrients into this already healthy cake! Pecans or walnuts are our favorite, but there is really no wrong choice here. Your favorite nut will probably taste great!
How To Make Low Carb Carrot Cake:
- Whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and vanilla.
- All all dry ingredients and blend.
- Add in the shredded carrots, pecans, and melted butter. Transfer to two baking pans and bake fore 30-35 minutes.
- Make the frosting while the cake is baking. For best result, combine all frosting ingredients into a blender or food processor. This ensures your frosting comes out velvety and creamy!
Low Carb Carrot Cake Frosting
Carrot cake isn’t complete without it’s beloved cream cheese frosting aka the literal icing on the cake!
The frosting for this cake is perfect! It has a smooth, sweet, and velvety texture. We used Lakanto powdered sweetener in the frosting and we know that’s why this frosting is so delicious!
Lakanto’s powdered sweetener is zero glycemic, natural, and carb free, which makes it the perfect sweetener! There is no nasty aftertaste, and of all the keto sweeteners, it truly tastes the best.
Best Sweetener for Low Carb Carrot Cake
As usual, we used Lakanto’s Monkfruit to sweeten this delicious low carb carrot cake. We use Monkfruit in all of our sweet recipes because it is simply the best keto friendly sweetener on the market. Lakanto is zero glycemic, natural, has no cooling aftertaste, has a 1:1 ratio to sugar making conversions easy, and most importantly, it tastes great!
If you have never tried Monkfruit, or if you just need to restock, visit Lakanto’s website to place your order. If you use our code, “BUTTERTOGETHERK” at checkout, and you will save 20% off of your entire purchase!

Hi Kasey! I plan to make this recipe this weekend – can you advise for the icing, it says 1/2 of the sweetner. Is that supposed to read 1/2 cup? Just want to make sure I get it right!! Thank you!
-
Carol Siembida
Made this once and we loved it….used a bundt pan. This time I want to use a 13.x 9 pan and add 1/4 cup crushed pineapple. Would I still bake till toothpick tested?
-
Ellen
Love!! This cake is amazingly delicious! I made it for a party, didn’t tell anyone it was “keto”, and it was a hit! Everyone loved it, definitely making again. This recipe is a keeper!

I made this keto carrot cake it was super easy and delicious

Manette
This has just come out of the oven for my dad’s birthday today. He is type 2 diabetic and hubby & i are ketoers. THE SMELL IN MY KITCHEN RIGHT NOW!!! I was an idiot and didnt adjust my time for a single pan bake so worried when it came out browned but still a bit wobbly – popped some tinfoil over, baked another 15 mins & perfection. Cannot wait to surprise my dad with a cake for his brithday. Thank you for the 1.25cup advice on the eggs – i only ended up needing 5. Love from London 🙂 x
-
Odette
I loved this recipe But for me it’s too moisty… I think only with butter works fine, next time!
Thanks for the recipe.
XOXO,
Ody -
Ronald Kilpatrick
Absolutely delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
-
Amelia
I made this, in place of my go to keto carrot cake recipe, and it was much better! So moist and everyone who I made it for had no idea it was keto! Thank you!
-
Lew
OMG! So Good and So Moist! Absolute PERFECTION! Many Thanks for this incredible Recipe

De
Can MCT oil be used in place of olive oil?
-
Kim
Just made this cake!!! Omg! So good… Even my husband likes it. No one would even know it’s keto.
-
Katie
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!
Do you know how far in advance you can make this cake? Or how long it will stay fresh?
-
-
jesse hyde
Great recipe. wish there was a “print recipe” link on this page though.
-
Sonja
@jesse hyde, just copy & paste into a blank word document & print from there, quite simple really

Gail
I don’t care for many of the sweeteners I had hoped I would like monk fruit but I tried monkfruit syrup on keto pancakes and was not a fan I was surprised there was such an aftertaste
I feel like everyone likes it so I was like 🙁
How would you adjust for stevia or swerve ? Thank you-
Sheila Ann Keller
@Gail,
I have been using xylitol for quite some time now because I can’t stand the aftertaste of any of the other sweeteners. I add a little less than what a recipe calls for because I find it PRETTY sweet. It is not animal friendly so be careful with your baked goods if you have pets. I don’t so it works for me. Cheers!
-
Linda
@Gail,
I use monkfruit sweetener frequently, and my husband and I both really like it. However, I did find the syrup to have a considerable aftertaste the one time I used it. I would suggest trying the granulated and powdered versions of monkfruit sweetener. They are really good!

Fuller Hunt
What size pans?!?
-
Bruce & Liza Love Igo
Can you make muffins or cupcakes with this instead of a cake?? (Portions are so much easier that way!) How would I adjust the temp and cook time?? Thank you (in advance) I am SO making this!!
-
Austin
On the frosting, it just says “1/2 Lakanto Powdered Sweetener”. I am assuming it should say 1/2 cup, but not sure.
-
Jackie
Could I skip the coconut flour as I do not have any?
-
Debi
If I wanted to make this cake in a 9×13 sheet cake pan, would I need to double the recipe? Or maybe make the recipe at 1.5? I don’t have 6″ cake pans and would rather make it a one-layer cake.
-
Heather
I only have one cup of almond flour but lots of coconut. Would it work to use one cup of each instead of 2 cups?
-
Angelica Abels
I’ve made this cake twice! Delicious! I usually get a good sugar laden carrot cake from my little sister for my birthday. With the pandemic lockdown, no cake for me from her this year. I started keto again in March so started searching for keto carrot cake and found your cake. I’m so glad I did! Just delicious, moist, spicy…yummy! Thank you!!
-
Lisa
Tastes really good! Will definitely make again when I need a fix of carrot cake!
-
Jocelyn
I am not keto follower by any means but I’ve turned into looking for more low carb desserts since Illinois established this shelter in place due to the COVID pandemic and all I found myself doing was EATING!
I came across your recipe on Pinterest and made it tonight. It is absolutely delicious. You would never tell it’s low carb. I cannot wait to make this for a crowd. It’s that good!!! Thank you! -
Wendy
I halved this recipe and it made 12 cupcakes; they turned out perfect. Delicious!!
-
-
Veronica
What is meant by ‘1 stick of butter’ is there a measurement for that?
-
Dominique
For the Cream Cheese Frosting: it says to Blend all ingredients together. Cream cheese, powdered sweetener, butter, and vanilla extract. When do we include the heavy cream?
-
Janet
This carrot cake is way better than boxed! Being on low carb is getting better all the time!! My husband agrees whole-heartedly 😋

Gian Franco Martínez
Hi! I was looking for a Keto Cake recipe as my best friend’s bday is coming up this week, so I want to send him a cake and this recipe looks amazing! I just want to make sure i get the propotions right as I only have coconut flour (its getting hard to get the almodn flour because of #coronaviurs) so to make this recipe i would use: 2 cups of coconut flour + (1/2 cup of coconut flour + 2 eggs) instead of the 2 cups of almond flour? Thank you so much in advance for your responce and greetings from Lima-Peru!
-
Zulfiya Bagmanova
Wow! Just wow! Turned out amazing! My no keto friends loved it and couldn’t believe it’ is sugar free. Next time I will double the cake recipe to make it to a two layer tall cake. The best cake ever, life changer! Thank you so much!
-
AnnMarie Crisa
If I want to use two 9″ pans do you have to double this recipe?
If so it would be great if you could print that in the recipe.Thank you
-
Margarita
It looks amazing! Can I replace butter with coconut oil for a dairy free cake?
-
Teresa
@Kasey, actually I’m wondering your advice to make it dairy free too
-
-
Brian Davitt
Thanks for the recipe! Do you know the cook time for one 9 inch pan rather than the two six inch?
-
Jessica Barber
Hi! Your recipe looks amazing and I am going to try it today. For the frosting sweetener, what do you think about some lakanto maple syrup? I don’t have the powdered version of monk fruit. Do you think the frosting lack thickness/creaminess, and is the maple too overpowering for the carrot cake in your opinion?
Thank you!
JB -
Niurca Louis
Can the olive oil be replaced with avocado oil?
-
Roye
I don’t have 6 in or 9 in pans, only 8 inch cake pans. Should I do one pan or two?
Thanks so much for the recipe, it looks wonderful, baking this for my husbands birthday today.
-
Roye
Thank you so much for your reply. I found a 9 in springform pan I forgot I had :). It browned on outside but was still liquid in the middle, I had to cook it another 10 to 1`5 mins. It came out very good and hubby liked it. Thank you!
-
MzFinnin
I followed your recipe to a T. Thank you this was so good. I will make this again and again. I made cup cakes so that I can take as a snack. Can I freeze them???
( -
Nat
OMG this cake tastes so good! It’s even better after it’s been frosted with cream cheese and left to get cold through in the fridge !!
Made this with 3/4 tsp of ground nutmeg, 2 cups + 8 tbsp of almond flour (cuz no coconut flour), 3/4 cup Lakanto monkfruit and everything else as per the recipe in a 9-inch springform pan. It took exactly 30 min in the oven.
For the frosting I whipped 200g of cream cheese with 2 tsp of Lakanto monkfruit and just covered the top of the cake.
Can’t believe how good it tastes! Thanks for a great recipe!!
-
Mariangela
Hi Kasey! this recipe looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it out! However I was wondering if you could tell me how much exactly in grams or oz do you mean when you say “1 stick of butter” because I live in Venezuela and butter is not sold on sticks here but in cans. Also, could I replace the butter with Greek yogurt or something else? Maybe a ripped banana? If so, what would the ratio be?
Thank you so much in advance 🙂
-
Elaine
Made this recipe today but made cupcakes instead of cake. It was wonderful. I used the icing recipe on top too. Baked at 350• for 22-25 mins. Thank you❤️
-
Chris Shirley
It’s in the oven right now and it smells amazing in here ♥ I am so excited as this is my very favorite cake!!

Made this and my husband said it was the best “Keto” dessert so far. He really likes carrot cake. Thanks for the recipe.
-
Fiona
A huge thank you for this recipe. I made this for my birthday and it was a huge hit with the non keto crowd as well. I used a dash of pineapple essence not vanilla but otherwise stuck to the recipe. I love carrot cake but my keto husband who usually won’t touch it absolutely loved it.delicious.
-
Rhonda
one of the best keto desserts we have made in 2y! super moist, perfect !!!thx
-
John Torres
I want to thank butter together kitchen for this recipe. My wife and I made this yesterday using the 9inch pan and it is amazing. We have made a lot of recipes in our keto journey and have learned a lot like olive oil makes this cake moist. The best thing is we share this with others and we find so many people who’s health is deteriorating informing us they are making this recipe and will get back to their low carb lifestyle as they have gotten off track. Thanks again for sharing your recipes.

Manette
A year later to the day & I’m back to make this amazing recipe again!
-
Kay
I’m so excited to make this for my Mom’s birthday! Quick question: the butter. Salted or unsalted? A few recipes call for unsalted in at least the icing. Help please!
-
Desiree
@Kay, I just made this for my mom’s birthday a few days ago too! From what I’ve been told, rule of baking is use unsalted unless it’s stated otherwise…but I actually used salted for the icing as well as the cake because that’s what I had on hand and both came out great!

So impressive it is! My family love it much. Thank you for sharing this post!

Can I substitute the carrot for zucchini?

Thank you for your recipe, it was truly amazing and already make this many times since the pandemic.

Hi Looks super. Am going to make it today and was wondering if i could almond meal instead of almond flour, which isn’t that easy to come by at the moment. Thanks a lot
-
Lauren
I’m stunned at how fabulous this cake tastes! For the first time I used monk fruit, amazing. Probably won’t be going back to stevia. Thanks for the recipe…now cruising your website to try more cakes. #ketobakingmakesmehappy 🙂

Plan to make this recipe this christmas hope I succeed, I really love carrot cake😍

OMG I read 2 CUPS coconut flour. It seemed like a lot. My humble apologies
-
ELLEN SOBOTA
THIS WAS THE BEST CARROT CAKE EVER!!! THANK YOU, YOU’RE BRILLIANT!
-
Mile
We made this yesterday, from past experience we used 1/2 less of the sweeteners and it tasted really good and not too sweet. I also added a quarter cup of full fat Greek yogurt for the cake and it made it super moist and delicious!
-
Nancy
I made a single layer 9” cake, baked for 43 minutes. It was amazing! Fantastic recipe, highly recommended!
-
Desiree
So I accidentally mixed up the measurements for the baking soda and baking powder and I was SO UPSET and thought I was gonna have to can the whole batch. Well I decided to go ahead and bake it anyway to see what would happen and it still turned out so freaking yummy!! Even with my fudge up this still tasted awesome and the texture was awesome. I’m taking a batch over to my friend tomorrow. Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. ♥️

Candy Darleen Vincent
Does it need to stay in refrigerator
-
Sneha Epstein
This was loved by one & all! Baked in a heart-shaped cake tin, wish I could share a picture! Thanks heaps for this marvellous recipe! 🥰
-
Sneha Epstein
Thank you, Kasey! I have a question. The first time round, I baked it in a 9″ heart-shaped pan. Wondering what’s best if I want to bake a two layered birthday cake this time round (same pan). Divide the batter & bake two thin 9″ layers or bake just once, cool and slice the cake horizontally into two layers?
Thank you very much!

-
Jan
Ok, you got me! I wasn’t sure about this cake when I made it yesterday. Just had a piece that I left on the counter covered over night. No kidding, if I hadn’t made it myself I would never had known it wasn’t the full on flour and sugar original recipe. My husband LOVES it too!
Thank you for perfecting this recipe…and sharing it.

Dorela Ademi
Just made it for first time and it is baking, frosting is really nice, I use less sugar overall but I am happy how it is coming out.

It was good🧁😐

Caitlin Maring
HI! Looking to make this for Easter this year. How far ahead can you bake this? Thanks!
-
Rebecca
So so so good. This recipe does not disappoint. (I would use a wee bit less sweetner in the icing… But that’s cause I like my icing more cheesy than sweet). My 18yr old says I need to make this cake all the time. Winning ❤️
-
ToriE
Quick question can I use a dairy free butter instead of regular butter? If not what would be a alternative to butter?
-
Erica Ramirez
If I omit the pecans, will I need to change the ratios for the other ingredients? Thanks!
-
Amy
Very moist; great flavor. But don’t try it in an angel food pan without the parchment! Extra spray and flour did not keep it from sticking and we had a cake pile!
Also, all carbs (in addition to net) would be appreciated for those of us that also have a Type 1 at home!
-
April
I just made this and oh my gosh thank you!! This taste better than most non keto carrot cake. I used swerve powdered sugar and trulia as my artificial sweetener other than that I followed exact recipe… oh did 9in pan and cooked for 45 min.
-
Karunaa
The best Keto carrot cake ever!
Will be making this over and over again! Thank you so much for the fantastic recipie! You guys rock🥕 -
Jaymie Largent
This was a great recipe. The cream cheese frosting is so good! I will use it on everything.
-
Christina
I’m a carrot cake snob lol. A lot of people make what they call carrot cake and is really spice cake with carrots lol. I don’t really like the spice kind. Can I omit the nutmeg without messing up the recipe? Sounds delicious and carrot cake is my weakness!!!
-
Reta
I made this cake today and my husband’s comment was “I would defy anyone to identify this as low carb, sugar free. You have created a masterpiece.”
Thank you for the recipe. It really is terrific.

Danielle
Would it be okay to make this cake the day before the birthday? Would it taste good chilled the next day?
-
Sarah
I am pretty sure this is what carrot cake will taste like in Heaven. It’s the best carrot cake I’ve ever had in my life, low carb or otherwise! I can literally taste the butter in every bite, in the most amazing way. I used avocado oil in place of the olive oil and erythritol for my sweetener (used liquid stevia in my frosting) because that’s what I had on hand. Also added some more spice to it- ginger, cloves, and black pepper – mostly to cover the flavor of the erythritol because it’s disgusting. I saw another comment that said it was too moist but not for me! I don’t usually eat cake because I hate the dry, crumbly texture of it but this one… this is the one. Thanks so much for the recipe!
P.S Even my two year old tried it and liked it, and trust me that’s saying a lot lol
-
Ju
Wow, it looks pretty good, definitely worth a try! But how much grams or pounds is your stick of butter?
Thanks! -
Kacey
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! I made this cake today for my dad’s 76th birthday. He was recently diagnosed a Type 2 diabetic. Carrot Cake is his favorite. HE LOVED IT (My 96 year old grandma did, too)!!!!!! I added 1/2 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut instead of the nuts…YUM!
I made the two 6 inch layer cake. It needed some extra time in the oven.I also doubled the frosting recipe so that I could pipe a fancy design on the side. The frosting was AMAZING, but very soft. I popped the dirty iced cake in the freezer for about 20 minutes before completely icing it. Then, put the completed cake in the freezer for an hour before transporting it. That firmed up the icing and was stable for a 1 hour car ride to my dad’s house.
Seriously, this carrot cake was FANTASTIC!! Highly Recommend!!!

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I am the only person in my household who eats low carb and this recipe allowed us to eat desert together. I used a 9” cake pan and baked for 35 minutes. The cake sunk in the middle, but it was moist and delicious! Any suggestions for how to prevent the sinking? I will make it again!
-
Jodi
This is an awesome recipe. Thank you for sharing

This is the best keto carrot cake ever. I’ve made it twice and delicious every time. My husband loved it and that’s saying a lot 😋
-
Jason
This cake and frosting turned out fantastic!! The only issue is the next day, after being in the refrigerator, the sugar seemed to go back to having a granular texture again. When it was fresh the day before, I didn’t get the grainy sugar texture. I used Monk Fruit Sweetener, maybe Swerve would have been better? Or a powdered sugar substitute? Splenda? Stevia? Other than the texture change of the cake the next day, this was a HUGE hit and is in the “Good Online Recipe” book!!!
-
Pam
Wow! Made this for Thanksgiving and it is amazing! Really close to a “non keto” carrot cake I used to make. Thank you for this great carrot cake!
-
Paula Curtis
Best carrot cake ever, one I know I can always give to guest and they’ll not even know it’s keto. It freezes really well even with the frosting on, great to keep in the freezer to pull out when getting guests.
I did try another recipe, I was swayed because it said it had the highest reviews ever on google for keto carrot cake.
Well learned my lesson on that one! Not a patch on yours, not particularly nice flavour and dry in comparison. -
Cheryl
I made this carrot cake for Thanksgiving and nobody in the crowd of 20+ people even knew it was low carb until they saw my husband and me eating it! I can’t wait to make this again. My 65th birthday is in Feb. and this is exactly what I’ll be having to celebrate for sure!

Can this be baked in a 13×9 pan?

Kristen
I did, worked great!

Barbara
Is it okay to skip the nuts?
-
Jennifer
This is such a fantastic recipe, my only comment would be that I find that monkfruit will typically re-crystallize as it cools so I switched it out for allulose, which won’t. You still get the same delicious taste, without the crunch or grit of crystallized sugar. This has become a favourite cake recipe of ours and is always the go-to choice when anyone wants cake. Thanks so much for this wonderfully delicious recipe! 🙂
-
Kristen
I was so pleasantly surprised how good this recipe was. I love Keto recipes to bake for my diabetic husband and family members and gluten allergy family members but a lot are so hit and miss. This was a hit! I even replaced the cream cheese icing with all non-dairy products for a family member with a dairy allergy and it still worked and tasted great. Used grape seed oil instead of olive oil and cake was super moist. I also used swerve sweetner instead of monk fruit which I find more user friendly. It was amazing to achieve so many dietary needs with one recipe and have it taste so great even to those who don’t have those needs!
Karen
Amaaaaazing! I made this carrot cake for our family Easter dinner and even the non-low-carbers loved it! I did one 9” springform pan so I had to bake it for 45 minutes. I think this is my favorite dessert so far since beginning the low-carb lifestyle 5 months ago.
