Carrot cake would have to be one of my favourites, along side banana bread!
I'm excited to share with you my gluten free carrot cake recipe that is both healthy and delicious. The grain free carrot cake is packed with flavour and has a moist texture, topped with a creamy dairy free cream cheese made from cashews.
I used good quality, natural and organic ingredients from My Organics.
Whether you are following a gluten free or dairy free diet or not, it is a very simple recipe to make and certainly a crowd pleaser. I hope you
and your family love this recipe as much as we do.

4. Pour egg mixture into dry mixture and stir through with a wooden spoon to combine.
5. Pour the cake mixture into a baking paper lined 18cm cake tin. Smooth the surface out with a spoon and place in the oven.
