Spice Cake

 This was very tasty like carrot cake.


·         2 tbsp melted butter

·         1/6 cup sweetener

·         2 oz cream cheese, room temperature

·         1 beaten eggs

·         1 tsp vanilla extract

·         1/4 cup coconut flour

·         1 cup blanched almond flour

·         1/2 tsp baking soda

·         1 tsp cinnamon

·         1 tsp allspice

·         1/2 tsp nutmeg

·         1/4 tsp ground cloves

·         1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

·         4 oz cream cheese, room temperature

·         2 tbsp heavy cream

·         2 Tbsp powdered sweetener, such as Swerve Confectioners


Line a loaf tin.

Mix butter, sweetener, cream cheese, vanilla, and eggs until completely smooth

Whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and ground cloves.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and combine with a spatula or mixer. Once completely mixed together, add in the nuts if using. Stir until they're evenly dispersed.

Spread the batter into the baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick just comes out clean.

Mix together the cream cheese, heavy cream, and sweetener with a hand mixer for 1-2 minutes or until completely smooth.

Spread the frosting onto the cooled spice cake. Garnish with extra nuts if using.
