This is a great recipe! I skipped the nuts and used the Bob's Red Mill all purpose flour instead of the other flours. I subbed 1 T cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp ginger for the "mixed spice". Preheat oven to 325. I made this into minicupcakes to take to a gluten-free family member so they can put them in the freezer and grab them as needed. YUM!

I used Arrowhead Mills all-purpose GF baking mix instead of soya flour and pecans instead of walnuts. WOW!! I can't tell the difference at all between this and my "regular" carrot cake. I made this for a friend whose gluten allergic, but I might just start making this all the time. It's FANTASTIC!

I wish I could give this more stars!! This is simply outstanding carrot cake - that it's also gluten free is just (dare I say it!) icing on the cake! Oh the icing is wonderful too...I used the soy flour and cornflour, which is a combination I've never used before. Just wonderful! I'll have experiment with those in other gluten free baking. Thanks for a terrific recipe!

For gluten free baking, this is an outstanding cake! I used brown rice flour and chick pea flour, and was pleasantly surprised with how nicely it rose in the oven. The texture isn't quite as moist as a traditional carrot cake, but that certainly won't stop me from making it again. I'll add raisins next time too. Thanks, Chrissyo.
