I made major modifications after reading the comments - here is what I did Used Quinoa flour - I find that this is the best for baking Added 3/4 cup of buttermilk 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder The cake was light and fluffy but tasted super bland - next time 1 cup of Agave and 2 teaspoons of nutmeg and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon but ladies Quinoa is the way to go when baking and if you want light add buttermilk with baking soda, baking powder and salt in equal parts

This is an amazing recipe. I substituted walnut oil & olive oil for the grapeseed oil and cut down on the cinnamon. It was wonderful. I used a cream cheese frosting that included butter, cream cheese & homemade powdered sugar (because it is corn free. Next time I would experiment by adding a little crushed pineapple but as this recipe stands it is fantastic. As for the complaint that this cake is too salty or dense you could decrease the salt to 1 tsp. or eliminate all together and increase the baking soda to 2 tsp. The cake is dense because of the lack of flour. You could also very easily turn this recipe into a bar pan recipe. I also dusted the top with crushed walnuts. Enjoy!!!

Gets extra bonus for being without flour. Too salty for me-I will use much less salt next time I make it.

This makes a great dense cake, no wheat flour or sugar. I didn't have grapeseed oil so use canola which seemed to work fine. The cake stuck to the pan so I would use parchment paper or something on the bottom of the pan the next time. I frosted it with simple neufchatel cheese sweetened with agave syrup and a teaspoon or two of vanilla extract.

Absolutely delicious! One of the best carrot cakes I've had and there was no way you could tell it was gluten free! I went exactly by the recipe and wouldn't change a thing. I used a recipe from one of my cook books to make the cream cheese frosting.
