Organic Carrot Cake

Carrot cake organic

The tender Spring season is when carrot cake makes it debut on our kitchen table. 

Gluten Free Carrot Cake

This cake is incred­i­bly moist and flavor­ful and it didn’t notice I used flax eggs instead of real eggs. I am not vegan or gluten free but I do try and play around with alter­na­tive options when baking to see if I they work — which means for the recipe to taste good and this carrot cake is vegan and gluten free, and is better than any tradi­tional recipe I have eaten.

Organic Carrot Cake 

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 flax eggs
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ cup organic almond milk
  • 1 cup organic pineapple crushed
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups grated organic carrots
  • ½ cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1 ½ cups gluten free flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup organic walnuts

Directions

  1. For this recipe, I used flax eggs as a substitute, which is a great option if you’re simply out of eggs! In a large bowl, combine all the wet ingredients and mix well by hand. In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. I strongly recommend using only organic ingredients for this recipe.

  2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Dust two 8-inch cake pans with oil and flour of your choice. If you’re using flax eggs, prepare them; otherwise, whisk three eggs and make the cake batter. Bake the cake for 45 minutes until it turns golden brown. To check if it’s done, poke the cake with a toothpick to see if it comes out dry. Let the cake sit in the oven for at least 15 minutes before removing it. Then, place it on a cooling rack. While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting and set it inside the refrigerator until the cake is cool about 2 hours.
