How to Make Passover Carrot Almond Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
Add grated carrots, sliced almonds, olive oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Stir in chocolate chips (if using).
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with powdered sugar (optional) before serving.
