Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, stevia, vegetable oil, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the grated carrots, drained crushed pineapple, and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan(s), spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan(s) on a wire rack before serving or frosting.
Enjoy your stevia-sweetened carrot cake plain or with your favorite low-sugar frosting!
