Notes
Transforming our Famous Moist Carrot Cake. Into a gluten-free delight. Is wonderfully simple. And doesn't compromise on taste or texture. Swap the all-purpose flour. With your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Look for a blend that's designed to be a 1:1 substitute. Which often includes xanthan gum. For added elasticity. Remember to sift the gluten-free flour. As you would with regular flour. To keep the cake light and fluffy. This small tweak. Ensures everyone can enjoy. The same delectable flavors of our classic carrot cake. Just without the gluten!
