Title: Swiss Carrot Cake
Post by: boonderoostudio on March 09, 2010, 04:08:27 am

I made this cake for the first time on Sunday.... It's from the Gluten Free Wheat Free Cooking Book p79.
Although it was a bit too sweet... next time I'll use a bit less sugar (200g). It was a great success, flavour wise and looked great, I didn't ice the cake and had to use orange zest as I'd run out of lemons.With Lemon zest and lemon icing it might not taste as sweet.
4/5 :) :) :)

Thanks for the review  :-* :-*  Might even pay to use some apple sauce substitution ?

What do you mean by apple sauce substitution? ??? Do you mean just use home made apple sauce? How much would I need as this sounds like a great idea? I'm not an experimental cook and always need direction... consequently I love cook books! Would the mixture become thinner.... it was already very runny. So please help . :-* :-*

Thank you very much. :) :) Have checked and will give it a go next time I make this cake... my DSIL will be very pleased as he needs to restrict his sugar intake and he did like the cake very, very much ;D ;D
