Gluten Free Carrot Cake

This is the perfect classic carrot cake. Great for get togethers or for a birthday! 


This recipe is very popular in our family. Often it'll be requested for a birthday cake or just as a regular dessert to enjoy after dinner. The cream cheese frosting is divine, and the actual cake itself is so moist. The pecans add a nice dimension and a little crunch to the cake. Usually I put it in a 9x13 pan, and that'll last us for a while. If you don't want that much cake, you can half the recipe.

I took out the granulated sugar and substituted with coconut sugar. There's also some brown sugar, as well as icing sugar in the frosting. All in all, there isn't a huge amount of processed sugar in this recipe compared to most cakes. It is also perfect for anyone who prefers or has to eat gluten free.

12 Easter Recipe Ideas

Easter is almost here, guys! Have you planned your menu yet? If not, or you still want to add a couple more things to it, we've put together a few of our favorite recipes that might help inspire you as you plan. :) 

My family is planning to have turkey and gravy, my sisters amazing cranberry salad, stuffing, whipped potatoes, salad, and sweet potato. We still have to work out what we'll have for dessert.

This Easter will be extra special for my (Liz's) family. It is of course always special because it is when family can come together to celebrate Christ rising from the grave, which is one of the most important and extraordinary times in History that we can celebrate. Without Him dying on the cross and rising from the grave, we could not have the truly amazing gift of salvation. Easter is always special, but I think it'll be even more memorable this year, since for the first time in my life on Easter, all of my extended family on my mom's side is going to be together! I'm really looking forward to the special memories that'll be made, as well as enjoying all the wonderful food & fellowship. 

So, shall we get to it? Here's 10 Easter Recipe Ideas. Enjoy!



This is my favorite bundt cake evah! It's moist, fresh, and delicious. The apples, pecans, nutmeg, and cinnamon is what makes this so good. But, what makes is really good is the topping we put over it. It gives a sweet, caramely taste that you'll love!
