Carrot Cake (Gluten-Free, Casein/Dairy-Free) image

A delicious carrot cake that is free of gluten and casein, but also lower in sugar and fat than most recipes. Can be made vegan with egg-replacer instead of eggs. Top with your favourite icing, or a sprinking of icing sugar. I often use more pineapple, and mix it with cinnamon and raisins, and make a warm glaze before serving. Simply double the recipe for a two-tiered version.

I love that this carrot cake is made with whole wheat flour and natural sweeteners. It's a healthier alternative to traditional carrot cake, but it's still just as delicious.
