Eating a delicious healthy cake is indeed possible, and you won't believe how simple it is. Here’s this gluten-free carrot cake recipe that is just as fluffy as the traditional one.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Add the oil, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla to a mixer and beat until combined. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Add the carrot, the walnut, and beat until you have a smooth mixture. Pour into two previously greased and floured 25 cm diameter pans with gluten-free flour. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove and cool. For the frosting, cream the butter with the cream cheese, add the sugar and vanilla until smooth. Refrigerate until use. Unmold the cakes and place a little frosting on one of the sponge cake layers. Place the other on top and cover with the remaining frosting. Decorate with chopped walnuts and serve.
