This Gluten Free Carrot Cake is the same classic cake you remember, just without gluten and dairy. It’s loaded with carrots, coconut, walnuts, and pineapple and it’s packed with flavor.
Carrot Cake has always been one of my favorite cakes and this gluten free carrot cake is no exception. This recipe is one that my family has been making for years, i.e. my whole life.
The original recipe was from The Silver Palate Cookbook and it’s one of those loaded carrot cakes – you know the ones with puréed carrots, pineapple, nuts, AND coconut.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix in the walnuts to coat them with the flour and set the bowl aside.
