The magnificently moist, delicately zesty and warmly spiced golden brown bake gets a marvellous nutty makeover.
This gluten free carrot and almond cake recipe provides a fresh twist on the traditional carrot cake, while keeping the moist, flavoursome crumb that we all know and love. The addition of almonds to the cake mixture gives the cake extra body and richness, while the nutty flavour perfectly complements the sweet juiciness of the carrots. But best of all? Not only is this luxurious dessert wheat free, it’s lactose free too. Now that deserves a toast.
