Reviews

  1. A small Christmas Eve miracle. Carrot cake without gluten or fat! Baking today for tomorrow's dinner, I tried Baker Kelli's recipe for carrot cake, to offer a sweet ending to guests who must avoid wheat or much fat for health reasons. I used powdered sugar instead of icing it; the icing (butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar & chopped pecans--not exactly low fat) will be served on the side. Also baked a smaller "trial" cake to taste tonight. Eureka, it worked! Note: Instead of xanthan gum, I used "ThickenThin not/Starch thickener", which contains xanthan and other gums; added it with the flour, baking soda.
