Cake for breakfast? YES! and with 3 cups of carrots, and 1 cup of walnuts, why not?! This Gluten-Free carrot cake is delightful and easy to make.

Fold the batter over the carrot shreds until everything is mixed well, and then add the walnuts.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake until a toothpick comes out clean. About 20 - 25 minutes.

I shred my carrots as small as possible so the kids don’t get suspicious.
I remember when I thought carrot cake was this cruel joke. Cake filled with carrots, no thanks. Turns out it's the raisins that make it yucky. If you don't think you're a fan of carrot cake give this recipe a try and let me know if it changes your mind.
