Time 1h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground cloves
¾ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup applesauce
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup white sugar
⅓ cup orange juice
4 eggs
1 ½ cups grated carrots
½ cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons seeded and minced jalapeno pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and cloves together in a bowl.
  • Beat oil, applesauce, brown sugar, white sugar, and orange juice together in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until smooth. Beat eggs, 1 at a time, into applesauce mixture, beating until each egg is fully incorporated before adding next egg.
  • Mix flour mixture into applesauce mixture, alternating with carrots, walnuts, and jalapeno pepper, until batter is just blended; pour into prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
