Gluten Free Carrot Cake

Fresh water peaches

Why I love this recipe!

What's not to love about this Paleo Carrot Cake?! It's incredibly moist, has a kick of your favorite warming spices, and it's topped with a simple, dairy-free frosting! It's a great way to enjoy the classic flavors of carrot cake without grains, dairy, or refined sugars! (Only 6 grams of sugar per slice.)

Helpful Tips

- If you forgot to leave out your eggs, just add them to a small bowl with warm water. This will speed up the process! - If you don't use parchment paper, make sure to grease the pan! I like using coconut oil, but any non-stick spray will work. - Don't pack the flour. Cassava flour is very dense, so I spoon the flour into the measuring cup. Use a knife to scrape off the excess!
