How to Make Spiced Carrot Cake Gluten Free

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13x2-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend (2 cups), granulated sugar (1 ¾ cups), baking soda (1 tsp), baking powder (1 tsp), ground cinnamon (2 tsp), ground nutmeg (½ tsp), ground allspice (½ tsp), and salt (½ tsp).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together vegetable oil (½ cup), melted unsalted butter (½ cup), and eggs (3 large).
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in grated carrots (2 cups), grated fresh ginger (1 tbsp), and chopped walnuts (1 cup).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 45 minutes.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
