Vegan Carrot Cake

Updated: Jul 14, 2019

I was out for lunch with my mum not so long ago, she had a slice of carrot cake and I desperately wanted to have some of this cake.

I've never been so determined to make a certain thing! I was going to have some vegan carrot cake!


I'm so glad that I was determined to make this recipe as it was amazing! It was soft but had a little crunch which was the perfect texture!


I took my carrot cake to a family dinner so that everyone could try, no one left a bite! And Maxine, my 1 year, tried to lick her plate clean.

Ingredients


Cake;

2 ½ Cup Plain Flour

1 Cup Brown Sugar

1 Cup Caster Sugar

2 tsp Baking Powder

2 tsp Ground Cinnamon

½ tsp Ground Ginger

1 Cup Applesauce

¾ Cup Vegetable Oil

3 Cups Grated Carrots

1 Cup Chopped Pecans + more for decoration


Cream Cheese Frosting;

½ Cup Butter - I use Pure but any butter you want to use will work.

1 Cup Vegan Cream Cheese

1 tsp Vanilla

4 Cup Icing Sugar


Method

* Add the sugars, cinnamon and ginger.


* Stir in the applesauce, oil, milk and vanilla essence.


* Mix in the carrots and pecans.


* Separate the mix into your 2 tins.


* Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until you can place a toothpick in the centre and it comes out clean.


* Cool completely before adding the frosting.


Frosting;


* In a large bowl beat the butter until it’s creamy.
