Gluten Free Carrot Cake

I have to thank www.shortbreadbakery.blogspot.com for this amazing recipe. I did change it just a little to suit our tastes and what I had on hand. This is delicious and is a treat you can feel amazing about eating! It is made with healthy fat almond flour. I use almond flour for the little bit of baking I do. White flour and white sugar are a train wreck to your body. They are super processed and cause an instant blood sugar spike which, when done repeatedly over years, can cause insulin resistance which can lead to a host of health problems. Yuck! I buy my almond flour online from honeyville products and it is wonderful! I have tried Bob's Red Mill Almond flour and it is really expensive and does not bake well.
