Gluten-Free Carrot Cake

This Gluten-Free Carrot Cake with lightened-up cream cheese frosting is a delicious and healthy alternative for your next birthday cake or party.

When I started this blog I never anticipated that my boyfriend would play any role in it. He didn’t know about it for the first two months after all…I’ll be honest, I judged people who spent their entire blog talking about their significant others and now I’ve officially become that person. Much to C’s dismay.

In all seriousness, I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a kind, giving and genetically blessed man. Even though he only reads my blog when I remind him to, he is my #1 supporter and best friend. Without a doubt I am his stalker and I am certifiably obsessed with him. Since today is the boy’s 24th birthday (yes he’s younger than me!) I thought I would spend this post thanking him for being without a doubt the most awesome human that has ever walked the planet!

Thank you for being equally as goofy as I am and reminding me that dance parties can happen anytime and anywhere.

Thank you for teaching me to dream big. One day on the ranch…

Thank you for saying things like “public spaces are so important” and “I think it’s a reality that one day I will go to space”…amazing.

Thank you for giving the best hugs.

Thank you for not being a picky eater and eating everything I make.

Thank you for being up for every adventure, no matter where it takes us.

Thank you for not judging me when I’m watching the Kardashians while you’re reading Plato.

Thank you for putting up with me taking an excessive number of pictures of you eating food.

Thank you for the pillow fight we just had cause you wouldn’t leave the room while I was writing this…Truce.

Thank you for reminding me to look up.

Thank you for your patience and especially when it comes to cold, partially-eaten food.

Thank you for forgiving me (in advance) for making your birthday cake gluten-free and healthy. I promise it’s good!

Thank you for showing me that you can only find true love if you take the risk.

Now it wouldn’t be a birthday without cake! Of course I had to make C’s favourite, carrot cake. But since I am selfish I made it Gluten-Free Carrot Cake so I could enjoy it too. I celebrated early by eating a piece of it and it has taken every ounce of me not to eat the entire thing. Instead it is sitting safely in the back of the fridge in preparation for tonight’s festivities. That is unless C actually reads my blog today and discovers it before then…

Happy birthday to the most wonderful man I know. May 24 bring you only the best and a year full of happy memories and new adventures. Can’t wait to watch it unfold. Love you, darling!
