I have been wanting to bake a gluten free carrot cake. Not because I am on keto diet but just wanted avoid what flour as much as possible coz I am a Cancer recovered patient. Into my third year of being free from Cancer. Glory to God for healing and keeping me healthy this far. I found a very good recipe which uses Almond Flour and since I have all the ingredients in my fridge, I proceed to bake it to have my craving fixed. I substituted brown sugar with Lakanto and neutral oil with butter oil, the cake turned out great. Light and fluffy, raises up too , not compact . Perfect for my cake pan of 7 inches diameter. Having said that I halved the recipe.
Thank you to Mama Gourmand for her delicious full proof recipe.
