Healthy Carrot Cake with Cottage Cheese Icing

Here is a recipe for some healthy carrot cake.

Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, mix 1 cup flour, 3/4 cups almond or oat flour, 1/4 cup flax flour, 1 1/2 cup sugar. 2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir to combine.

In the same bowl, add the 3 cups of grated carrots, 4 eggs, 3/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Combine all ingredients until everything is blended.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This will help the cake from sticking to the tray. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Remove cake from oven and let it cool to room temperature before frosting.

For the icing, mix all ingredients for the frosting into a blender and blend until smooth.
Let the mixture set for 20 minutes in the fridge.
Spread on cake and enjoy!!
