Hello everyone, welcome to my latest recipe for Gluten and Dairy Free Carrot Cake.
Hope you are all having a good week so far. I’m off to London tomorrow and looking forward to a 4 day weekend, catching up with friends and loads of good food.
I hope you all like carrots as I have a few carrot based recipes coming up on the website – all from the same bag I had lurking in the fridge. This cake only takes a couple of carrots so I used the rest to make a lovely autumnal carrot and orange soup and left one over for some carrot cake pancakes. Look out for this recipes appearing on the website in the next couple of weeks.
If you fancy doing some baking this cake is a good place to start – it mixes up in one bowl and is packed with lovely autumn flavours.
