When my husband had to start eating gluten-free almost 15 years ago, we soon learned that most gluten-free baked goods are deeply disappointing. Imagine his delight when I discovered how to make his favorite carrot cake without wheat flour! It’s been a hit with everyone I’ve made it for, whether or not they need to eat gluten-free. —Yvonne Anderson, McComb, Ohio
