Ingredients

4.6 ounces brown rice flour (about 1 cup) 2.6 ounces white rice flour (about 1/2 cup) 1.05 ounces tapioca flour (about 1/4 cup) 1 teaspoon xanthan gum 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup canola oil 1/4 cup applesauce 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 large eggs 2 cups shredded carrot (about 8 ounces) 1/2 cup raisins 1/4 cup chopped pecans Cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °. To prepare cake, weigh or lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, xanthan gum, and next 6 ingredients (through nutmeg) in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk. Place granulated and brown sugars, oil, applesauce, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until blended. Gradually add flour mixture, beating at low speed until smooth. Fold in carrot, raisins, and pecans. Pour batter into an 11 x 7-inch metal baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 ° for 35 minutes or until a wooden pick comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
