Ingredients
- 8 Tbs. butter or non-dairy substitute (like Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks)
- 2/3 cup granulated cane sugar
- 3 eggs (or see article on vegan egg substitutes)
- 1 ¼ cup chopped peeled carrots
- 3/4 cup chopped peeled apples
- 1/2 cup cranberries or raisins
- 1/2 cup grated coconut
- 2/3 cup gluten free hard Apple Cider (carbonated)
- 2⅓ (337) cups (grams) gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour OR 275 grams gfJules grain-free Nada Flour*
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F (static) or 325º F (convection).
- Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking pan or large bundt pan.
- In a large food processor, chop the apples and carrots. Mix together in a bowl with the raisins and coconut and set aside.
- Cream the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes. Add eggs and blend until incorporated. Stir in the carrot-fruit mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk gfJules Flour with other dry ingredients.
- Gradually stir in the gfJules Flour-dry ingredient mixture, alternating with hard apple cider. Stir just until incorporated.
- Scoop the thick batter into the prepared pan and use a rubber spatula to smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 – 30 minutes for 9x13 or ~50 minutes for the bundt, just until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with dry crumbs attached.
- When cooled, frost with Sour Cream Frosting or Cream Cheese Frosting.
