**********
Carrot Cake is such a classic cake which I love so much. And it's one of the easiest cakes to make as you just dump everything into a bowl and mix together. Going low carb does not mean we have to be deprived of it.

Here's a low carb version which is soft, moist, fragrant and delicious. It is the same base recipe as all my other muffins as I love the texture. I used ground cinnamon and all spice which works perfectly. If you like a stronger spice taste, then feel free to increase the amount. I used the food processor to process the carrots, but you can use any other graters. For 2 cups of grated carrots, I used about 1 1/2 medium sized carrots. Instead of walnuts, you can choose to use pecans too as they are the lowest in carb content. If you noticed, all my cakes are made into muffins as I find that it's easier to store them in bags for freezing. They can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks and months when frozen. When that sweet cravings hit, I just warm up 1 muffin in the microwave and boom - craving satisfied! For those carrot muffins which I kept in freezer, I did not apply the cream cheese frosting. Those with the frosting were just refrigerated and they disappeared in no time.

Frankly, this is the first time I applied frosting on cake. I have never applied icing on cakes before as I am a hopeless baker. Hence, I can only manage with simple muffins. So please bear with the frosting part haha ….
