You're back to blogging--that was fast! I love carrot cake. I tried a recipe that used 1/2 cup cooked pureed carrots (the book actually suggested baby food carrots) in addition to the shredded ones. It was to die for! So much moister and tons more carrot flavor. Hmm. Maybe this year's Blue & Gold cake will be carrot!
ReplyDeleteSo your cousin Julie told me about your site. I'm always looking for GF things. I have never, however, heard of featherlight flour. What is it? The fudge is making me hungry BTW.

ReplyDeleteThe featherlight flour is a blend that I like to use. It's a good blend that works for almost everything. I also like to use it because I can buy 25 lb bags mixed and ready to go at a good price. You can see the recipe under the Flours label. I'm currently working on other blends, trying to add in healthier flours.
