Enjoy this delightful cake as a loaf or frosted in layers with cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients

    Yield: one cake, see pan sizes below

      Cake
    • 2 cups Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix
    • 1½ tsp cinnamon
    • ½ tsp allspice
    • ½ tsp nutmeg
    • 1 pinch ground cloves
    • zest of 1 orange
    • ¾ cup oil
    • 2 eggs
    • ¾ cup sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla
    • 1½ cups grated carrots
    • ½ cup or 8 oz. can crushed pineapple in its own juice, well-drained
    • ½ cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
      Cream Cheese Frosting
    • 1 bag Pamela's Vanilla Frosting Mix
    • 2 TBSP butter or margarine, room temp
    • 6 ounces cream cheese, room temp
    • 1 tsp water
    • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Directions

    Pre-heat oven to 325°, with rack in top third of oven.

    CAKE:

    In a medium bowl, whisk together Baking & Pancake Mix and spices. Set aside. Beat orange zest, oil, eggs, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer (or by hand), until well mixed. Mix in carrots and pineapple and then add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well. Add nuts and mix again. Pour into baking pan(s), prepped with cooking spray, and bake according to pan size. Toothpick should come out clean. Once cooled, frost with cream cheese frosting.

    CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

    Soften butter or margarine by mixing in mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix together on medium for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. If frosting is too thick, add more water one teaspoon at a time.

    PAN SIZE AND COOKING TIMES:

    • Two 8” round cake pans (makes two 1¼ to 1½” cakes) = 30 to 35 minutes

    • One 9” springform pan (makes one 2 to 2½” cake) = 45 minutes

    • One 7” x 11” rectangle pan (makes one 2” cake) = 40 to 45 minutes

I omitted the Allspice and just dded a little more cinnamon and nutmeg and it was so delicious!
If you don't have Pamalas frosting mix, you can just find a basic cream cheese frosting recipe using Butter, cream cheese and vanilla. This is so delicious on this cake!

Excellent cake! I used half of the orange zest and it was just right. A friend asked for the recipe, knowing it's GF and she's not. Will definitely make it again!

I sub dried cherries for the raisins, and mix in crumbled goat cheese. So, basically muffins. But that goat cheese helps me not miss the frosting.

This is a delightfully delicious recipe! My wife is celiac, I am not. I love carrot cake and made this today. WOW! Great cake for both of us! I omitted the orange zest and didn't miss it... but next time will add some raisins and reduce the amount of sugar a bit, and using half brown sugar. Yummy!

I make this as cupcakes and they are so good! I frost them with commercial buttercream frosting. Without frosting, they are wonderful muffins. I did use unsweetened applesauce for half of the oil.
YUM! Loved by everyone, celiac or not.

My mother in law has celiac so to make a birthday cake for her, I used this recipe with some modifications. The entire family loved the cake so much, they asked me to make another one on the next birthday occasion.

For the cake batter, I used unsweetened apple sauce instead of the pineapple and I used only half a cup of sugar instead of the 3/4 cup.

As for the frosting, I used an entirely different recipe - 11 oz of goat cheese, a pack of cream cheese (around 8oz), a cup of maple syrup and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.

Very Good! Made this for Easter and it was a hit. Very decadent. I agree with another reviewer about omitting the orange zest. It was very overpowering. I would halve it or do without. I also added more carrots and shredded them on the fine side of my grater. That way they softened enough during baking. You would never know this cake is G/F! Pamela's Baking mix is my go to G/F product. Thanks!

This was a great recipe! The only thing I would change is the orange rind. I found it to be overpowering and would use half the amount or none at all. I would make this again.
