Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ⅓ cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour (such as Cup4Cup™)
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups grated carrots
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese
¼ cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Beat white sugar and vegetable oil together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; beat in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix.
  • Combine baking flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl; mix into sugar-vegetable oil until batter is smooth. Fold carrots into the batter; pour into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Allow cake to cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
  • Beat cream cheese and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer; beat in confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, until icing is smooth and creamy. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat well. Spread icing onto cake.

This cake was a disaster. It didn't rise properly and the frosting was runny.

I didn't like this cake. It was too dense and the frosting was too sweet.
