2 cups Coconut Flour
1 teaspoon Organic Fresh Ginger grated
1 teaspoon Cardamom ground
1 teaspoon Redmond Real Salt
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Camu Camu
½ teaspoon Raw Vanilla Bean Powder for the cake
1 teaspoon Smart Monk 100% Pure Monk Fruit Powder for the cake
10 Eggs room temperature
1 cup Dr. Bronner's Coconut Oil
1 Tablespoon Fresh Organic Lemon Juice omit for phase 1
½ cup Filtered Water
4 cups Carrot grated, about 8 carrots
13.5 ounces Let's Do Organic Coconut Cream for the coconut cream frosting, optional
½ teaspoon Raw Vanilla Bean Powder for the coconut cream frosting
1 Tablespoon Smart Monk 100% Pure Monk Fruit Powder for the coconut cream frosting

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
If needed, melt the coconut oil in a small pan so it is liquid.
Shred or grate the carrots with a food processor attachment or box grater.
Line a 9 x 13 glass baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients of coconut flour, ginger, cardamom, salt, baking soda, camu camu, vanilla powder, and half the monk fruit. (Save the other half to sprinkle on top.)
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the wet ingredients of coconut oil, water, (and lemon juice and stevia if using).
Dump the medium bowl of wet ingredients into the large bowl of dry ingredients. Combine well.
Then fold in the shredded carrots. It will seem dryer than a typical cake, but the carrots will release water as they cook.
Cook for 30 to 40 minutes until you can put a fork or toothpick in the middle and no crumbs come out.
Let cool for 20 minutes.
While the cake is cooling, put the coconut cream into a bowl with the monk fruit powder and raw vanilla powder. Use a whisk to combine until desired consistency.
When the cake is cool, spread coconut cream frosting on top.
If desired, sprinkle a very light dusting of monk fruit on top like powdered sugar.
