I love carrot cake but gluten and I are not friends anymore. I made this delish cake that has all the flavor and none of the gluten. Are you looking for a cake to feed your family, one that makes you feed good? You have come to the right place.
Carrot cake should be simple. I feel carrots cakes have too many ingredients. I like the carrots to be the star. This carrot cake gives the spotlight to all the carrots. A moist cake
Carrot cake is a perfect dessert to serve after dinner. How about some Langostino Tails for dinner?
Notes
I prefer the mini cakes.
