Dear Ultra Gourmets of GF Land:
I made this to celebrate a new Vitamix machine--the celiac's delight.
It is an adaptation of the whole wheat carrot pecan cake recipe in the
Vitamix book. It worked so well that my non-gf friends found it
heavenly-- light and quite delicious.
Note: I love to experiment with flours and will do so more now that I
have a machine to make them myself. Also, I tend to favor low fat, low
sugar recipes.
Chop 2 cups of raw carrot chunks in the Vitamix. Set aside.
In the container (no need to rinse) place the following
1/2 c. rice flour
1/2 c. corn meal
1/4 cup each sweet potato flour, soy flour, and peanut flour
1/2 tsp Xanthan gum
1/4 to 1/2 c. vanilla sugar (i.e., sugar from a cannister in which a
vanilla bean or two is in residence)
1 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
2 tsps ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3 tsp baking powder
Blend.
Stop. Add 4 large eggs and 1/4 c. maple syrup mixed with 1/4 c. oil (I
use canola, safflower would do as well.) Tap-release red impact lever 5
times, then stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula. Repeat.
(Or else just stir in a large mixing bowl until well blended. Add the
carrots and a handful of raisins, or nuts if you prefer.
I baked this is a greased loaf pan at 350 for about an hour, but you
could use a 9 x 13 pan, or small loaf pans, until a toothpick came out
clean.
When cool I sliced it and froze it in a loaf-shaped freezer container.
If I separate one additional slice each time I take a slice it is easy
to get an unbroken piece of this delicious loaf, which is perfectly fine
without icing.
