carrot cake

Okay, confession time. I tried two different carrot cake recipes yesterday. Unfortunately, I made too many changes to the original recipes at once and had some flops. I Know better than to make changes to a recipe prior to doing the original one first. But I wanted to modify a gluten free recipe to also be vegan. Instead of using eggs as a binder, I used applesauce for the eggs. That meant with the lack of gluten and lack of binder, there was nothing to hold the cake together. DUH! Ended up with a gooey mess. I really hated to have to throw that cake out but there was no saving it.
