Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gluten-Free Carrot Cake Made Easy.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and generously greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your cake releases effortlessly.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together sugar and vegetable oil using an electric mixer until the mixture transforms into a smooth, creamy delight.
Step 3
Introduce the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next, then stir in the fragrant vanilla extract for that extra touch of warmth.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, creating a fragrant dry mix.
Step 5
Gradually fold this dry mixture into the egg blend, beating until the batter is luxuriously smooth.
Step 6
Gently fold in the grated carrots, allowing their sweetness to mingle throughout the batter.
Step 7
Pour this vibrant mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to create a beautiful canvas for your cake.
Step 8
Slide the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, signaling that your cake is ready.
Step 9
Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to settle.
Step 10
For the icing, beat together cream cheese and butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until they blend into a velvety smooth mixture.
Step 11
Gradually add confectioners' sugar, mixing until the icing reaches a creamy consistency, then stir in vanilla extract for that signature flavor.
Step 12
Once the cake has cooled, lavishly spread the icing over the top, transforming your creation into a delightful treat.
Step 13
Slice, serve, and savor every bite of this deliciously moist cake!.
