Presenting this delicious cake for your guilt-free Sunday evening cravings. It is quite nutritious, with natural sweetness from the apples and the carrots. You won´t have to resort to sugar or other artificial sweeteners that ruin your sense of taste and your pancreas.
On the other hand, if you use rice or almond drink or any other gluten-free grain, it is also suitable for gluten intolerants, since it only contains quinoa flour. You can also experiment with other types of flours, such as rice, buckwheat or teff. If you have a problem with gluten, also make sure that the syrup does not contain any traces of gluten.
Enjoy!
