My mother in law in Switzerland often made a delicious flour-free carrot cake for special occasions. Unfortunately, I did not get her recipe, but I've come up with this one through trial and error and it's pretty close. You can also make it in a small bundt pan or spring form pan - just increase the baking time by 10-15 minutes.
