To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook carrot cake using 10 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook that.

For a gluten-free carrot cake, swap the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Baking soda helps the cake to rise. Salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract make the cake taste amazing.
