Cake
2 cups sugar
1 cup gluten-free all purpose flour
1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour
1/2 cup rice flour
1 teaspoon guar gum
1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground clove
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1-1/2 cups canola oil
4 eggs
3-1/2 cups carrots, peeled and grated
1 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large mixing bowl combine sugar, flours, guar gum, salt, spices and baking soda. Add oil to the dry ingredients and mix well. Add eggs; beat in one at a time.
