Method
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease and flour (using tapioca flour) two 6" round cake pans. Turn over and tap out the excess flour. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, spices, salt, baking soda and sweetener. Then mix in the carrots, walnuts, pineapple and raisins to combine. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, vanilla and apple cider vinegar.
- Pour the wet (egg) mixture into the dry (flours) mixture and stir until totally combined. Scrape the bottom of the bowl to make sure no dry mixture is left behind.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared baking pans and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the tops are dark golden brown and a tester comes out clean.
- Cool for 3-5 minutes in the pans before turning them out onto a rack to cool completely.
- Cool completely before frosting.
