GLUTEN-FREE CARROT CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Position a rack in the lower portion of the oven and heat to 350 F. Generously spray two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with circles of parchment paper.
• Combine the eggs, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Alternatively, whisk by hand or use and electric hand mixer.
• Add the oil, buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix on low until well combined, scraping down the bowl occasionally.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and salt. Beat on low until ingredients are just combined, about 20 seconds.
• Fold in the carrots with a rubber spatula until well combined. Fold in the walnuts and/or raisins, if using, until well combined.
• Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared pans.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a crumb or two attached. The tops will be golden brown, the edges will pull away from the sides of the pan, and the cakes will spring back when you touch them, about 30 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• To make the cream cheese frosting, whip the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until creamy and light, about 2 minutes.
• Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat to incorporate. Add the confectioners' sugar one cup at a time, beating after each addition.
• If the frosting feels thin, add more confectioners' sugar one tablespoon at a time until reaching desired consistency.
• Chill the cakes in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before frosting and serving.
