RE: GF Carrot Cake Recipe

[Guest guest]

This does sound good. I think I feel like

making a cake today… But help me with this. DS doesn’t much like chunks

of nuts in things, but I think the flavor of walnuts is important to carrot

cake. Do you suppose grinding them into walnut meal would work well enough?

Cake Recipe

We're making this recipe tonight, and I realized that I may not have

posted it here. It's one of DH's favorite recipe

that he adapted

from an Emeril recipe. He frosts it with a lowfat

cream cheese

frosting (powdered sugar, cream cheese and

vanilla). SO good.

Tonight we made it half into cupcakes and half as

a one layer cake,

but we usually make it into a two layer cake with

frosting.

DH's divine carrot cake

4 eggs

2 cup sugar

1 cup vegetable oil (you can sub in portions of

applesauce to reduce

fat)

3 cups grated carrot, about 5 carrots

4 tablespoons orange juice

2 1/2 cup flour (i use gluten free blend or rice

flour but anything

works)

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon allspice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two

9 inch square

baking pan.

In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar

until creamy. Stir

in the vegetable oil until well combined. Add the

grated carrots,

orange juice and walnuts and mix well. Add the

flour, baking powder,

salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and stir until just

combined. Pour into

prepared baking pan and bake for 25 - 30 minutes

or until a

toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow cake to cool and then frost as a two layer

cake. DH likes to

make a cream cheese frosting.
