Cooking tips

It is decorated just like any old birthday cake, but even better inside!  For my daughter’s birthday, we added a few horse toys to the top because she is obsessed. 😉

Can You Substitute Chicken eggs for duck eggs?

We used duck eggs but chicken eggs can be substituted. Use the same amount.

Shred the Carrots really fine

Use a mandolin or a food processor. Make sure the carrot is sliced really thin. You want it to blend in with the cake.

Ingredients

Cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups organic sugar
  • 4 duck eggs large chicken eggs can be substituted
  • 1 1/2 cups Coconut Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour mix
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 3 cups freshly grated carrots
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts optional

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter softened
  • 3 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons of goat coconut, or almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 1/2 – 3 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare either one 13×9-inch pan, two round 9-inch cake pans, or 36 muffin cups by gently rubbing the bottom and sides with coconut oil.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream sugar and eggs. Gently add room temperature oil and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until blended. Be careful not to over mix. Fold in grated carrots and nuts then pour batter into prepared pans.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. If you’re making muffins reduce the time to 30 minutes. Prepare the frosting while the cake is cooking. Cool the cake to room temperature. Wrap in tinfoil and freeze. This keeps crumbs out of the frosting while decorating.
  • To make the frosting beat room temperature butter and cream cheese with milk and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add powdered sugar a little bit at a time until smooth and creamy. Add more a little bit at a time if it seems runny. Frost the cake and keep refrigerated until you’re ready to serve and enjoy!
