Gluten Free Carrot Cake

I’ll admit that carrot cake has never been one of my favorites. I’m not even sure why it didn’t really stand out to me much while growing up.

However, I am always willing to give food more than one try.

And boy am I glad that I did!

This carrot cake is unlike any I have had before it. Not only is it a total guilt free treat, being that it is gluten free and has no refined sugar, it tastes great!

It is so moist, and the perfect amount of sweet. I am not a fan of super sweet cake with heavy frosting, so it was just the right amount for me.

Something about this cooler weather has me in the mood to bake, so I look for any excuse to bake something new! I think this treat will be a perfect addition to any Thanksgiving, birthday party, or just a sweet treat to have at night.

For the cashew frosting – I would recommend soaking them in the water for a few hours if you can. I added a few whole cloves to soak in the water with the nuts for flavor, however, if you have none it will still work.

I found that the combination of flours I use work best for this cake, so I HIGHLY recommend using the same ones with the same measurements.

One last but important thing – I personally think that carrot cake tastes best when chilled, so I recommend placing it in the fridge before enjoyment!

Let me know what you think!
