Add grated carrots and mix until combined.
Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix until all dry ingredients have incorporated.
Transfer the batter into the loaf tin and smooth the top with the back of a spoon. To avoid cracks in the middle, place 1-2 tbsp melted coconut oil in one line, on top of the batter.

Let it cool to room temperature before placing the coconut cream on top.
As a finishing touch, sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes.
