Directions:
For this recipe start by boiling 1 and 1/2 lbs. of raw carrots and then processing them into a puree. Measure the puree 1 1/3 cups. Next mix together all of the dry ingredients. Then add oil eggs and vanilla, beat well, scraping the sides of the bowl a couple of times. Fold in the carrots puree and shredded, pineapple, coconut, and walnuts.
Divide the batter evenly between 3 - 8 inch prepared pans. Smooth the batter level, then spread it slightly from the center to the edges. The baking time will vary depending on your oven. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or just until the tops are springy or a cake tester comes out clean.

Cool the cakes in their pans on a rack for 10 minutes. Invert the cakes onto racks and cool completely. Fill and frosts desired.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe is very accommodating to different gluten free flours. I have used all rice flour only with satisfactory results. It has a slightly better texture is one uses a combination of flours. You can certainly substitute a commercial mix of choice. I have found that zanthium gum does not enhance the texture.
