Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside. Grate the carrots using a box grater and measure out 2 cups.
    2 cups grated carrots
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together until evenly distributed.
    1 1/2 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup erythritol, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt
  3. Add the beaten eggs, almond milk, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a rubber spatula until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
    3 large eggs, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup olive oil
  4. Fold in the grated carrots until evenly incorporated. The batter should be thick but spreadable.

  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely before serving.
