gluten free carrot cake

  • September 10, 2020

a healthy gluten free carrot cake recipe

made using nudie nothing but carrot, apple, orange & ginger juice

This is no ordinary carrot cake! Packed with carrots and carrot juice, this cake truly bursts of colour and the all-important Beta-Carotene. Beta-what?! It is the precursor to Vitamin A, which gives us healthy skin, eyes and is anti-aging. Pow! Carrots are also rich in Vitamin’s C and K, folate, and potassium. This delicious carrot cake is grain free, so instead of using wheat flour like traditional recipes, we are using almond meal – this makes it gluten free and full of good fats & protein. There are plenty of reasons to go crazy over this cake.. it makes a perfect afternoon snack, or even dessert.
