none of the carrot cake recipes I've made have ever used dairy

I mean, true, but I guess the tag gets applied here in the same way it would to roast lamb: because someone LOOKING for dairy-free would want to take carrot cake into account!

Re structure and carrot cake... in my experience it doesn't really need eggs or gum! this isn't the recipe I was using last year, I can't find that one, but that was a regular carrot cake recipe that I was just... cavalierly leaving eggs out of, with no ill effects. Same works for banana cake. I think it might be a problem if you wanted to make a big high 20cm round cake, like a lot of cafés do, but for a loaf tin or cupcakes? I always add a little extra baking powder for gf anyway, and it seems to work. Especially if you remember to add a little acid to your milk-substitute.
