Laura’s Gluten-Free Carrot Cake


As I think of the cakes we had at home when I was a kid growing up, for some reason two in particular stand out: 1) Maple Walnut Cake, and 2) Carrot Cake. However, I never really loved carrot cake until I started experimenting with how to make it. I think you’ll like this one as well.

This gluten-free carrot cake is a 1:1 recipe which means anyone can make it, and it’ll be delicious either way!
