    Flourless low carb carrot cake

    This cake comes out crunchy but will soften up the next day. It’s important to grate the carrots on the fine holes of your grater, or else they’ll remain too crunchy. You can also use a food processor. For best results, wrap the cake tightly in plastic after it cools and serve it the next day...
