Cannot tell you how excited I was to find a "Crazy Cake" recipe for carrot cake. I doubled the recipe and used a 9" x 13" pan. Baked for 40 minutes. Will not use cream cheese frosting but will use buttercream frosting made with almond milk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-80897061431109561002017-05-11T05:21:20.608-05:002017-05-11T05:21:20.608-05:00Hi Elaine, I haven't tried that yet but it is ...Hi Elaine, I haven't tried that yet but it is worth a try -- especially as your wheat is freshly ground. To be safe, I would experiment with a half and half blend of white and wheat. If that works, try a bit more wheat until you reach your goal. If you do, please do let me know how it turns out! :) JEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300505126646960374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-56233085298876108892017-05-11T01:23:51.552-05:002017-05-11T01:23:51.552-05:00This looks like a very interesting recipe and I li...This looks like a very interesting recipe and I like using items from my pantry.

I have a cranky gallbladder right now so I can't have eggs, milk, butter, etc. This cake would be perfect minus the cream cheese icing {which I love, BTW} But cake alone would be a treat right now.
