Carrot Cake Again

So, I have tried this carrot cake recipe a total of five times now.  Each and every time it has flopped.  I am doing my best to follow the recipe - yet I am also trying to make it gluten free.
Fourth attempt:





Fifth Attempt:

I will try again tonight.

Rice cooker cake

Hi All!

We are trying a new recipe with my sister R. Who lives on the other side of the globe. 

Attempt 1:
+Zest of 2 lemons rather than one orange.
+Gluten free flour rather than regular
+Cocoanut oil  rather than butter to oil pan(dairy free)
+3 eggs instead of 4
Whites first did not fluff with a handheld immersion blender so I started whisking them by hand.  This worked well.  I was 90% done but tired and decided to finish whisking the last of the sugar in with the handheld immersion blender.  My meringue immediately went flat! In desperation I pulled out my tabletop mixer but there was no saving my flat meringue. 

Mental note: it is storming and humid today - the meringue gods are not with me.  Personal note: this is my first meringue to ever flop.

Too much mess. . . not enough cake.

Waiting for dear hubby to arrive home from work with a rescue order of eggs.

Nap time

I will admit nap time is about compromises.

Spring is on its way!
