Carrot cake is classic. Baked with fresh carrots, apple puree, and nuts, it turns out so wet, tender, and just delicious. This gluten-free carrot cake recipe gives the classic one a serious run for its money. You will never tell it’s gluten-free! 

You really must try it!

The cake uses home-made all-purpose gluten-free flour, which you can make yourself with this recipe.

As you can see in the photo, I used classic sugar icing with lemon juice for this cake. Other kinds of icing can also be used; I shared some of my ideas for icing in this recipe, too.

Steps

1
Done

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees.

2
Done

Peel and finely grate the carrots. Coarsely chop the nuts.

3
Done

Melt the coconut oil and let it cool down. Whisk the eggs (at room temperature) with a fork. Add the maple syrup, coconut oil, and apple puree (at room temperature). Combine until smooth.

4
Done

Combine together the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones, and combine into a smooth batter. It shouldn’t bee too thin or too thick.

5
Done

Fold in the carrots and nuts using a spatula.
Line the cake pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter in. Bake for 40 min at 175 degrees. To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick in the center of your cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.

6
Done

Take the cake out and let cool down for a bit. Then release, transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

7
Done

Once cooled, cover with the icing of your choice.
I usually make regular sugar icing from confectioner’s sugar and lemon juice (see the photo).
Classic carrot cake though is covered with cheese frosting ( 250 g cream cheese/Mascarpone, 125 g butter at room temperature, 200-250 g confectioner’s sugar).
I sometimes buy cashew cream cheese and use it instead to make the classic icing to make it dairy-free.
You can either cover the cake with icing all around or cut the cake into two layers and spread the cake in between them, too.
Enjoy!
