Ingredients

Cake Ingredients

200g Elevate Protein Flour
155g brown sugar
100g olive oil
50g maple syrup
50g melted butter
50g Greek yogurt
2 eggs
5g cinnamon
3g nutmeg
3g ground ginger powder
3g baking powder
1g baking soda
250g carrots (roughly three large carrots) *Could add raisins, walnuts, crushed pineapple*

Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients

226g softened cream cheese (one package)
150g Greek yogurt
80g maple syrup
*option, ½ tsp of lemon juice, ¼ tsp salt, 1 tsp vanilla extract*

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your pan (8x8 pan or similar)
Prep ingredients:(a) Melt the butter and let it cool slightly (b) Finely grate the carrots
In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Brown sugar, olive oil, melted butter, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, eggs
In the same bowl, add the dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger—and gently fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in carrots (and optional add-ins)
Transfer to the prepared pan and bake for ~45 minutes or until the toothpick comes out with small moist crumbs. Slightly underbaking is okay for a more moist interior
Cool before slicing for the best texture

Cream Cheese Frosting

Soften cream cheese by letting it rest at room temperature, or microwaving it for 10-15 seconds
Combine cream cheese, maple syrup, and greek yogurt in a mixer and mix until well combined and the frosting is smooth
Layer frosting on cake and enjoy (optional sprinkle some cinnamon on top)
