Gluten Free Carrot Cake This cake was amazing. I changed one thing and added another. To begin with, I am a vegan, so had to omit the egg from the recipe. Rather, I replaced it with apple sauce, which made the cake so moist and delicious, it's like a little bite of cloud in one's mouth. My friends and family loved it. The eggs were not missed. If you want to go that route, you will be adding 2 ounces (or 1/4 of a cup) of apple sauce per egg required. I used 6 ounces of apple sauce baby food. Also, I added 1/4 of a cup of brown sugar. This cake is absolutely divine. Never had one better, and I love cake to point of having it weekly!
