Main Ingredients- 2 fresh eggs

- 1/3 cup Coconut Oil
- 1 cup finely grated carrot (approx. 1 medium carrot)
- 1/2 cup finely diced apple (approx. 1/2 small apple)
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups mashed cooked white beans (for moisture and structure!)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional, for added texture)
Seasoning & Baking- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (balances sweetness)
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon (essential for that classic carrot cake flavor!)
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (balances sweetness)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the 2 fresh eggs, 1/3 cup of Xylose Sugar, and 1/3 cup of Coconut Oil. Add the baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk or stir with a spatula until everything is well combined and the sugar starts to dissolve.
Step 2
Add the 1 cup of grated carrot and 1/2 cup of diced apple to the mixture. Gently fold these in until evenly distributed throughout the batter. The moisture from the fruits will contribute to the cake’s tenderness.
Step 3
Now, incorporate the 1 to 1 1/2 cups of mashed cooked white beans and the 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. Fold them into the batter carefully. The white beans act as a binder and moisture retainer in this flourless recipe, while the walnuts provide a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.
Step 4
Line your baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for approximately 50 to 60 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a skewer or toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If it still has wet batter, continue baking for another 5-10 minutes. Let the cake cool slightly in the pan before removing.
