10 servings
40 minutes total
Ingredients
  • Cooking spray
  • 4 large carrots (about 8 oz)
  • 2 large oranges, for zest/juice
  • 2 ¼ cups fresh strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon + ½ cup granulated sugar substitute
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon orange (or vanilla) extract
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ⅓ cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar substitute
Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 10 (6 oz) oven-safe ramekins with spray; arrange on baking sheet. Peel carrots and chop coarsely (about 2 cups). Zest oranges (1 tablespoon), then juice (⅔ cup). Hull strawberries and chop coarsely; place in medium bowl, toss with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar substitute, and set aside.
  2. Place carrots, oil, orange zest, orange juice, and extract in blender (or food processor bowl); blend until smooth. Combine almond flour, salt, and remaining ½ cup granulated sugar substitute in medium bowl. Add almond flour mixture and eggs to blender; blend until well combined. Pour mixture into medium bowl. Add all-purpose flour and baking powder; whisk until blended.
  3. Divide mixture evenly among ramekins (about ⅓ cup each); sprinkle with almonds. Bake 20–22 minutes until edges begin to pull away from ramekins and centers are just set. Let stand 2 minutes to cool. Invert ramekins onto serving plates to remove cakes, if desired. Dust cakes with powdered sugar substitute and top with strawberries. Serve warm.
