Ingredients
For the cake:
- Cooking spray
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup kosher potato starch
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups shredded carrots (3 to 4 large carrots)
- 2 large eggs plus 3 egg whites
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
For the glaze:
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons fresh orange juice
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped (optional)
- Pinch of kosher salt
Directions
Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 10-inch Bundt pan with cooking spray.
Whisk the almond flour, potato starch, orange zest, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a large bowl; stir in the carrots.
Combine the whole eggs and 1 cup granulated sugar in another large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and thick, about 3 minutes. Gently fold in the carrot mixture.
Put the egg whites in another large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until just foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, 6 to 8 more minutes.
Gently fold the beaten egg white mixture into the carrot mixture in 3 additions until just combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the cake springs back when pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan, then invert onto a platter.
Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, orange juice, vanilla seeds and salt in a bowl. Drizzle over the cake and let set slightly before serving.

The cake was tasty but it was extremely crumbly. The slices did not hold together. Any ideas to correct this? My husband is a celiac and we really looked forward to this cake.

I selected this recipe to bring to an Easter dinner party of a friend who must avoid gluten.
This cake is easy to make and delicious. WORD OF WARNING: Do Not leave the cake in the pan until cooled. It was a disaster in the appearance department! If I make this cake again I will heed regular bundt cake recipe instructions of cooling for 15 min and then inverting pan onto rack. Hopefully the cake will oblige me by coming out of the pan with its lovely crust in tack!

I made this exactly as directed, used TJs almond meal.
served it the next day- it was delicious and surprisingly moist for a passover/flourless cake!!!
The glaze was too loose and just puddled around the cake, so next time, I may try a variation of a cream cheese glaze.
I will be adding this to the regular Passover rotation!
