What you need

  • 1 1/2 cups dark Teff flour
  • 1/2 cup sweet potato flour
  • 2 tsp. xanthan gum
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 3/4 cups shredded carrots
  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 3/4 cup raisins
  • 1 cup flaked coconut

How to make it

  1. Preheat oven of 350 degrees F. Grease and flour and 9 x 13 inch pan. Mix together the flours, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix sugar, oil and eggs. Beat in flour mixture. Stir in shredded carrots, pineapple, raisins and coconut. Pour into prepared pan.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
  4. I iced this cake with regular birthday cake icing with two tablespoons of maple syrup added. Lemon juice would also work well instead of the maple syrup.
