Grease and lightly flour two 9x1 & 1/2- inch round baking pans or grease one 13x9x2-inch baking pan; set pan(s) aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add carrots, crushed pineapple, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer till combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan(s).
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes for round pans, or 35 to 45 minutes for the 13x9x-inch pan or till a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Cool layer cakes on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool thoroughly on wire racks. Frost with Cream Cheese frosting. Cover and store in refrigerator. Makes 12 to 16 servings.
Cream Cheese Frosting
Beat together two 3-ounce packages cream cheese, softened; half a cup of butter, softened; and two teaspoons vanilla till light and fluffy. Gradually add 2 cups sifted powdered sugar, beating well. Gradually beat in 2 and one half cups additional sifted powdered sugar to reach spreading consistency. This frosts tops and sides of two 8 or 9 inch layers. Cover and store cake in the refrigerator.....or eat immediately!!!! YUMMY!!!! ~~

Here is the consistency of the batter, before it is cooked. It always helps to see this when making a recipe for the first time.
I have been absolutely spoiled by my family, over my birthday! Makes turning another year that much easier...........my family made me a Wheat Free Carrot Cake! It turned out delish and we get to eat it tonight! I truly appreciate this effort, as it takes some time to edit the recipe and test it with alternative flours. I am hoping there is someone else out there that can benefit from the recipe we came up with.

Thanks "littlegreen".......yah, she keeps insisting on wearing last years dress (getting a bit short) and my apron that my granny made me when I was 8 years old...it's still a bit long on her, but so cute that she wants to wear it!!! She LOVES to cook!! So cute!! The cake was yummy!!!!
I'm definitely going to have to make this! I've been eating wheat free for two weeks and it's sooo hard to find some yummy desserts! Thanks for posting it
I'm not so familiar with wheat free food, but if it's called 'carrot cake', is enough to make my mouth watering! It looks so yummy!!
Monica,
Wheat free food is for those of us who cannot tollerate wheat/gluten! ie: severe stomach pain, alergic reactions happen when we eat food with wheat in the ingredients. Not so fun! Makes it hard to eat out. Good thing I LOVE to cook and try new things!
