Rustic Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

INGREDIENTS (serves 12):

CARROT CAKE

  • 7 egg whites
  • 1 whole eggs
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (4 scoops) Vanilla or Unflavored 20/20 FIBER/PROTEIN Powder
  • 1/8 cup Sukrin Gold Brown Sugar Alternative
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  •  

    CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

    PREPARATIONS:

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat 2 6-inch round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. 
    2. In a large mixing bowl, combine egg whites, whole eggs, coconut oil and Greek yogurt and whisk until smooth.
    3. Add remaining ingredients and mix until smooth. Batter will be a thinner consistency.
    4. Divide batter between the 2 prepared cake pans and place in oven to bake. After 10 minutes, lower temperature to 350°F (the initial high temperature activates the baking powder and gives the cake a fluffy consistency). Bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
    5. Remove from oven and let sit for 5-7 minutes to cool before removing from pan and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
    6. While cake bakes/ cools prepare frosting by adding the vanilla extract to the Greek cream cheese and mixing thoroughly. Slowly stir in the Fiber/Protein powder in increments until fully incorporated into the icing. Set aside until cake has cooled and frost as desired.
    7. Once cakes have cooled, spread a layer of frosting atop the bottom layer of cake. Place the second layer atop frosted bottom layer and spread remaining frosting out on top of top layer.
