I don't know about you but this quarantine has me wanting to celebrate every single weekend... Can I get a "Happy 108th day of quarantine" pass the cake please!!"
Ok, but in all honesty, what is a celebration without cake (birthdays, anniversaries or quarantine), why not make it health(ier)!
This delicious double layer carrot cake has no refined sugar, is gluten-free and with a few simple swaps, it can be made vegan... "sign me up!"
My kids and husband love this cake, I'm certain that you will also!

Cake
Frosting
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare two 9 inch cake pans with coconut oil.
In a medium size bowl, whisk together the first 8 ingredients (oat flour-nutmeg). Set aside.
In a medium size bowl, mix the shredded carrots, eggs, maple syrup, milk of choice, vanilla, coconut oil, and acv. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
If using raisins or other suggested add-ins, now is the time to fold them into the batter.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet, mix util combined.
Evenly distribute the batter between the two cake pans. Bake for 24-27 minutes. To test doneness, stick a toothpick into the cake, it should come out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for 25 mins in the cake pans and then carefully remove them from the pans.
Transfer the cakes (out of pan) to a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely (approx 1 1/2 hours). During this time prepare the frosting.
Frosting: In a medium bowl, add the cream cheese and stevia or powdered sugar, beat with an electric mixer on low til combined. Frost the cake and ENJOY!!!
