EDIT: Wow, thank you all for the many amazing and helpful suggestions! These are great, thank you! We do have almond meal, buckwheat and rice flours (we've got gluten intolerants/coeliacs in our household too) so we'll be able to try some of these recipes and ideas out over the next week or so. I'll update with the results :)

Kid2 is making a cake for her gluten-free friend and the friend has requested carrot cake. So far we've had two test cakes (it's for a special occasion so Kid2 wants it to be very good) and neither has been amazing. Edible? Yes. But not special occasion-worthy.

Does anyone have a failsafe gluten free carrot cake recipe? Boosts very much appreciated

This may not be helpful to you where you are, but I've been able to use my traditional recipes successfully with off-the-shelf GF flour blend products.

Their quality varies. In the US I like King Arthur Measure for Measure. Works great for cakes. My biggest adjustment is needing a little longer bake time to get the proper result. Taste and texture are very good. I don't love some of the competitors, so you still have to experiment.
