Has anyone tried the Carrot Cake #1 Recipe from the Celiac.com site here?

I LOVE Carrot Cake, hubby does too. We're having company and I'd like to make it for this event so I can eat dessert too.

Any suggestions?

I don't know about the carrot cake recipe you mentioned, but I have been making one from 125 Best Gluten-Free Recipes by Donna Washburn and Heather Butt that my friends and family LOVE--they don't know it's gluten-free. I take it to parties, etc. so my husband can have dessert.

Preheat over to 350 degrees; 10" bundt pan, lightly greased.

1 1/4 cups brown rice flour

1 cup soy flour

1/4 cup potato starch

1/4 cup tapioca starch

1 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp gluten-free baking powder

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

3 eggs

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

3/4 cup gluten-free sour cream

1 cup crushed pineapple, including juice

2 cups shredded carrots

3/4 cup chopped walnuts

1. In a large bowl, sift together brown rice flour, soy flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Resift and set aside.

2. In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, beat eggs, sugar, sour cream and pineapple until well blended. Gradually beat in dry ingredients. Stir in carrots and walnuts.

3. Spoon into prepared pan. Spread to edges and smooth top with a moist rubber spatula. Let stand for 30 minutes.

4. Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan on a rack fo 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on rack.

5. Top with Cream Cheese Frosting (1 package cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter, 2 cups sifted confectioners sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract)
