Irresistible Gluten-Free Carrot Cake Recipe for Families
  • Prep Time

  • Total Time
    1 hrs 0 mins

Ingredients

  • A mist of cooking spray
  • 1 ½ cups of fine white sugar
  • ½ cup of nourishing canola oil
  • ½ cup of homemade applesauce
  • 3 large, farm-fresh eggs
  • 2 cups of versatile gluten-free all-purpose baking flour (like Cup4Cup™)
  • 2 teaspoons of fragrant ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon of spicy ground nutmeg
  • A pound of freshly peeled and shredded carrots

Step 1

Prepare your oven by preheating it to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Take a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light greasing with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a spacious bowl, combine sugar, oil, applesauce, and eggs, stirring until they meld harmoniously. Introduce flour, cinnamon, baking soda, vanilla extract, and nutmeg into the mix, ensuring they blend seamlessly. Add in the shredded carrots and stir until the batter is well-combined before pouring it into the awaiting baking dish.

Step 3

Let your creation bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick poked into the center emerges clean, which should take around 40 to 45 minutes. Enjoy the sweet aroma as it fills your kitchen!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. To keep your gluten-free carrot cake fresh and moist, store it in an airtight container lined with parchment paper. This will help prevent it from drying out.
  2. 2. If you don't plan on finishing the cake in one sitting, consider slicing it into individual portions and storing them in separate containers. This way, you can easily grab a piece for a quick snack or dessert.
