Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cake Batter

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and chopped pecans.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Pan

    Grease a round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.

  6. 6

    Serve with Cream Cheese Sherbet

    Serve the cake warm or at room temperature with cream cheese sherbet on the side.
