Easy Gluten Free Carrot Cake
Ingredients
  • subheading: Gluten free carrot cake:
  • 225 g (1 cup + 2 tbsp) light brown soft sugar
  • 120 g (½ cup + 1 tbsp) sunflower or vegetable oil
  • 3 US large/UK medium eggs, room temperature
  • ½ tsp vanilla bean paste (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
  • 200 g (1⅔ cups) plain gluten free flour blend (I used Doves Farm Freee plain white gluten free flour that doesn't have any xanthan gum added.  You can also mix your own gluten free flour blend using this recipe. Note that for this homemade blend, 1 cup = 150g, so ideally use a kitchen scale for best results.)
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp xanthan gum (Omit if your gluten free flour blend already contains xanthan gum.)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 225 g (about 2¼ cups) peeled and coarsely grated carrots (about 3 to 4 medium carrots) (Note that the volume of grated carrots can vary widely based on how tightly you pack them into the measuring cup. For best results, weigh them using a kitchen scale.)
  • 90 g (about ¾ cup) walnuts, roughly chopped
  • subheading: Cream cheese frosting:
  • 170 g (¾ cup) cream cheese, cold from the fridge
  • 175 g (¾ cup) heavy/double cream, cold from the fridge
  • 80 g (⅔ cup) powdered/icing sugar, sifted (You can adjust the amount if you want the frosting to be more or less sweet.)
  • ½ tsp vanilla bean paste (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
  • walnuts, roughly chopped, for decoration
