    Golden Chalice Carrot Cake (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    I’ve been asked for this recipe more times than I can remember, as everyone loves it. The key is the moisture, which is obtained by the high oil content. This cake is very moist and tastes delicious by itself, but a Cream Cheese Frosting recipe is included below, as well as Cashew Cream for Vegans.

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 9x9x2'' pan.
    2. Mix together:
      1 and ½ cup Almond Meal Flour (Health Food Store carries; check labels, or you can grind almonds finely in blender or food processor – measure after ground) or if nut-sensitive, use any gluten-free flour such as flour listed below – then cover 5 minutes after baking so it stays moist.
      ½ cup organic quinoa or amaranth Flour or combination of these
      2 tsp. aluminum-free Baking Soda (health store)
      2 tsp. organic Cinnamon
      Organic spices – ¼ tsp. each organic Allspice and Cloves
      1 tsp. Celtic or Himalayan sea salt
    3. Blend in:
      1 cup coconut oil or ghee, or 1/2 and 1/2 of each),
      ½ tsp. Sweet Leaf Stevia or raw, powdered Stevia Leaf 
      1 cup raisin sauce* 
      1 tsp. organic Vanilla extract or flavor (Celiacs may not tolerate extract)
    4. Add: 
      3 cups grated carrots (try to get sweet carrots if not adding sweetener)
      4 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each time.
    5. Optional - Blend in: 
      ½ cup chopped walnuts 
    6. Bake 30-40 minutes. or till done.   Cool and cover after five to ten minutes to maintain moisture. Can frost with cream cheese frosting (below) or Cashew Cream for Vegans and non-dairy requirements. 
    7. Serve warm if not frosted, or at room temperature with cream cheese frosting. Refrigerate if not serving until next day, or leftover, but return to room temperature to serve.
    Success Secret:  When you use both fruit and stevia in recipes, such as raisin sauce and stevia combined for sweetening, it tastes more like sugar. I’ve never had anyone notice the stevia flavor by doing that.

    * Raisin sauce: You can keep this in fridge for weeks. Place 1 cup raisins in jar with 1 and 1/2 cups water (or less, for more concentrated sweet). Soak raisins overnight or longer in refrigerator.  Blend in blender to make paste.

    Need an alternative to stevia and the frostings are missing.

    This is probably delicious but I doubt I would try it. A cup of coconut oil is unhealthy. Would canola be a good substitute? It has monounsaturated fat.

     

    Some carrot cakes use less oil and use applesauce to help make it moist.

     

    Just a suggestion.

    Coconut oil is actually very healthy for most people and it contains important omega fatty acids.

    Perhaps re-examine your nutrition facts. While coconut oil is a saturated fat, it is by far a more nutritious oil than canola could ever dream of being.

    I appreciate that you used Stevia so that the recipe is not only gluten free, but sugar free. Helps both me and my sweetheart and our separate dietary needs.

    I made this cake and extremely dissappointed! I love sugar-free and low glycemic but this cake sure falls short of being edible. I spent a whole lot of time making it and then had to throw it away.

    4 eggs
    ½ cup castor sugar
    1 cup corn flour
    Lightly grease a deep 23 cm round cake pan. Beat eggs in a bowl with electric mixer for about 7 minutes or until thick and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating well after each addition.
    Sift corn flour three times, then sift corn flour over egg mixture. Gently fold flour into egg mixture.
    Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan, bake in moderate oven (180c) for about 40 minutes or until cooked when tested.
    Turn sponge onto a wire rack to cool. Split cold cake in half, spread halves with cream, jam, or icing. I prefer to spread raspberry jam on the bottom half and then either spread icing or cream and top with strawberries on the top half.

    Homemade strawberry shortcakes remind me of being a kid. I loved eating the strawberry shortcake while the homemade biscuits were still warm. This recipe is sure to satisfy your craving for real strawberry shortcake, not the spongy kind you buy at the store, but the southern home-style kind. Of course, good luck finding gluten-free strawberry shortcakes this good anywhere else. This recipe is gluten-free, nut-free and egg-free.
    Strawberry Shortcakes (Gluten-Free)
     Serving size: Makes 9 shortcakes
    Strawberry Topping Ingredients:

    3 baskets organic strawberries ¼ cup granulated sugar- to taste To make strawberry topping:
    Remove the stems from the strawberries. Slice into thin (¼ " to â…›") slices. Put into a large bowl.
