Makes
1 10 inch round cake
Author Notes
I made some treats for an art opening my brother was having. I have celiac so I selfishly made the treats gluten free so I could eat them too. One woman liked the carrot cake so much she asked if she could hire me to make it for her daughter's birthday party. She then asked if I could make it without any refined sugar. I had never used agave before but got started on test batches immediately! Here's the final result. —Anya
