This cake is a real treat. I made it recently for a party and everyone loved it. You could not tell the difference between this carrot cake and those that are not gluten free. Not only that, this cake has so many carrots you will not feel guilty going back for seconds! Makes for a wonderful gluten free birthday cake as well.
