Yum Alert: Vegan Carrot Cake

Written by Casey

Heavenly rich and delicious vegan carrot cake.

My favorite type of cake may have to be vegan carrot cake. I’m not just saying that. One of the greatest things I love about living in New York is that there is constantly an abundance of vegan and gluten-free dessert options, which I always induce in. So for the past few months from my local bodega (which has $4.99 vegan carrot cake), to dessert at almost any organic restaurant below 14th street, I have been indulging in carrot cake. Now it’s time I try and make my own:

Carrot Cake Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups homemade oat flour (made from whole rolled oats)
3-4 Tbsp ground flax seed (freshly ground raw seeds)
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
dash of cayenne

sugar:
1/4 cup melted Earth Balance, vegan butter
1 1/2 cups raw turbino sugar

fold in:
1/3 cup raw walnuts, chopped
1/3 cup organic raisins
2 1/2 cups chopped shredded carrots

Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients:
8 ounces vegan cream cheese
4 ounces Earth Balance, vegan butter
1 1/4 cups pitted dates
pinch salt (optional)
