The best carrot cakes are a study in contrast\u2014moist yet light, spiced but sweet, earthy and decadent. This gluten-free carrot cake recipe more than lives up to the traditional version. In general, carrot cake is an excellent dessert to make gluten-free<\/a>. Because the batter is dense and moist, it doesn’t require the lift or chewiness that gluten provides.<\/p>\n This carrot cake gluten-free recipe is a tender, deeply flavorful cake topped with traditional cream cheese frosting, which offers a bright tartness that perfectly balances the carrot-studded confection. The delicious sheet-pan cake is a festive potluck dessert<\/a> or casual snack cake<\/a> for gatherings, celebrations, bake sales and more.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar, sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla until well blended.<\/p>\n In a separate smaller bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> You can tell you’ve whisked enough when the mixture is uniform in color.<\/p>\n Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold the carrots into the batter.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> For this step, you don’t really need a stand or hand mixer. A wooden spoon or spatula works fine. Adding the carrots last ensures even distribution throughout the batter.<\/p>\n Transfer the batter to a greased 13×9-inch baking dish. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.<\/p>\n While the cake cools, make the frosting. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until blended. Gradually beat in the confectioners’ sugar until smooth.<\/p>\n Once the cake is completely cool, you can frost it.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0To\u00a0frost a cake perfectly<\/a>, use a spatula or offset spatula to spread a very thin first layer. Often called the crumb coat, this will catch any crumbs and imperfections. Then, add a thicker second coat.<\/p>\n Unfrosted carrot cake can remain at room temperature tightly wrapped in storage wrap or foil. Once frosted, store gluten-free carrot cake in the refrigerator. The dairy in the frosting can’t stay at room temperature. Wrap it well to prevent the cake from drying up.<\/p>\n Unfrosted cake can be kept at room temperature for up to two days, and frosted cake can be kept in the fridge for up to five days.<\/p>\n Most cakes freeze well<\/a>, including carrot cake. You can freeze it frosted or unfrosted. Either way, allow it to cool completely, then wrap it well in at least two layers\u2014ideally one of storage wrap and another of foil.<\/p>\n Yes, you can adapt this carrot cake gluten-free recipe to be dairy-free. The only dairy ingredients are cream cheese and butter in the frosting. Nondairy alternatives are easy to find at most major grocery stores. Many vegan butter brands<\/a> are indistinguishable from the real thing.<\/p>\n Carrot cake is one of our favorite fall baking recipes<\/a>. We love serving it after a cozy fall dinner<\/a>; it’s as tasty after a casual casserole as it is after something fancier like roast pork<\/a>. Bring a big pan of carrot cake to your next potluck<\/a>\u2014nobody can resist that cream cheese frosting. Serve it after Easter dinner for every bunny in your family. Or, enjoy carrot cake as an afternoon snack with tea, coffee or milk.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Moist, sweet and loaded with spice, this gluten-free carrot cake is every bit as good as the original.
