Hi Liz! I don’t see raisins in the recipe, but in the top row middle photo of the cake slice, it looks like it contains raisins…is that just an optical illusion? And if you were to add raisins to the batter, what volume would you suggest and how/when would you add them? Making this tomorrow for my hubby’s BD!

How important is it to use coconut sugar? Can I substitute brown or white cane sugar?

Can’t wait to make this!

I’ve made this cake using the NYT recipe several times. I can’t even begin… It is SO delicious. People who hate carrot cake love this cake. People who love carrot cake love this cake. Yes, it’s a bit complicated and time consuming. But it’s worth it for special occasions, and I’ve decided Christmas Eve this year is one of those. Just wanted to pop in and say thanks! 😃

Is there an alternative GF flour you recommend for Teff that we could substitute? I ask bc I have so many GF flour types at home (except Teff 😆) I want to use up and figured be fun to experiment with something you think could be reasonable substitute. Thank you in advance for your help Liz
