GLUTEN-FREE CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5. Grease a springform cake tin (roughly 20cm) with butter, line the base with greaseproof paper, then dust the sides with gluten-free flour.
• Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl, add the sugar and oil, then mix to combine. Sieve in the flour and spices, then fold through. Peel and grate the apple (core and all) and carrots, then stir into the mixture along with the orange zest and juice and sultanas. Roughly chop and add the walnuts, if using.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin, then place on the middle shelf of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for around 5 minutes, before turning it out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the icing. Beat the butter, icing sugar and most of the orange zest until pale and smooth, then stir in the cream cheese until just combined.
• Once cooled, decorate the cake with the icing. Lightly crush the walnuts in a pestle and mortar and sprinkle on top. Finish with a grating of orange zest, then serve.

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.
