without flour and free from refined sugar

Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Wash, peel, and finely grate the carrots and apple. Combine the dry ingredients (nuts, oats, starch, baking soda, sweetener, and cinnamon). Beat the eggs and butter with a mixer. Add the dry ingredients and mix with the butter mixture. Finally, fold in the apple and carrots. Transfer everything to a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake in the hot oven on the middle rack for about 25-30 minutes. Tips: You can also bake the cake in a 22cm springform pan or in muffin tins. I used coconut yogurt as the topping. This cake is perfect for the Christmas season.
