The Gluten-Free Carrot Cake with outstanding spicy flavours and is super moist, whereas the frosting gives an excellent freshness to the wonderful Gluten-Free Carrot Cake. I make the frosting with sour lemon flavour and vanilla extract, which provides a tiny bit of acidity to the sweet-spicy and moist carrot cake.
Carrot cake is one of my favourites, as it is moist and has a fluffy texture, which I like! The cream cheese frosting gives the cake a nice finish and is the best gluten-free carrot cake I have ever made.
