2 cups carrots, ¼ cup olive oil, ¾ cup sour cream, 4 large eggs, ¼ cup unsalted butter, 1 cup brown sweetener, 3 cups almond flour, 1.5 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until smooth. Transfer the batter to a greased and lined 9-inch round baking pan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes. The cake should have golden edges and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing.
For the chocolate sauce, melt chocolate chips, butter, and water in a saucepan over low to medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Pour over the cooled cake and let it set before serving, optionally chilling in the fridge for a firmer texture. (Don't forget to watch the recipe video below)

Notes
Please note, this is very different than a traditional carrot cake and has a true carrot flavor with a sweet and moist texture.
