Keto Carrot Cake

Locaba specialises in diabetic-friendly desserts, and a selection of their vegan cakes are available in-store at Kind Kones outlets (without the pretty toppings you get if you order a whole cake from Locaba). This keto bake consisted of layers of cinnamon-scented carrot and walnut sponge cake, covered in vegan cream cheese frosting. 🍰🥕🧀 To make this vegan and gluten-free, ingredients such as flaxseed meal, coconut butter, almond milk, coconut butter, coconut oil, as well as coconut and arrowroot flour were used. 🌴🥥 Personally wasn't such as a fan as there seemed to be an aftertaste which I found a bit unpleasant, possibly from the table sugar substitute.

The tricky part here is being a "gluten free" cake, where it is usually quite hard to achieve the texture, so wasnt' expecting too much. Not bad this one kinda managed to balance the texture and taste in its nutty flavour, covered with sweet cream cheese which I felt was a bit too sweet but given the core flavour is slightly bittery / not so sweet, it does balances well. Good try for sure for a gluten free cake but could still get better.

ooh i really enjoyed this! classic carrot cake with "cream cheese" frosting - not sure how they did it but it did remind me of cream cheese!! which used to be one of my favourite things in the world 🥲 comes loaded with walnuts which i'm not usually a fan of, but the sweet frosting help to cut through the bitterness

This is probably a new addition to the menu because I don't see reviews for it nor can I find info on it online. I am usually ambivalent towards keto vegan desserts because they can be very hit or very miss, but my friend got this so I decided to partake. It exceeded my expectations! Couldn't tell it was keto because the icing and buttercream were creamy and delicious and the sponge was moist and flavourful. Only minor downside is that in my slice the walnuts looked a little burnt, but it didn't affect the overall taste. Recommended if you're keeping your sugar levels down!
