πŸ₯• Gluten free, vegan carrot cake πŸ₯•

I made this carrot cake yesterday evening after seeing a recipe on line and adapting it to suit what I had in the cupboard. I iced it this morning and ending up having it for breakfast! Before work! 🀫

I think it’s pretty healthy and was probably the best outcome for a vegan cake I’ve made. The frosting is delicious. Although I probably could have done with the frosting being a bit thicker so would add the water cautiously next time. I wish you could all have a slice with me! 🍰

This is the ingredients I used....(you add all the dry then the wet ingredients and mix well for the cake and the frosting you put it all in a blender and whizz until well combined and put it the fridge to thicken up before putting on the cake).

2ΒΌ cups (256g) flour (I used Gluten free self raising & quinoa flour )

1 teaspoons baking powder

3 teaspoons cinnamon

Β½ teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon salt

Orgran egg replacer

1 banana

1 cup vegan milk

2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 cup coconut sugar

Β½ cup (melted) coconut or canola oil (I used coconut with no flavour)

2 cups (240g) grated carrots

FROSTING

1 cup cashew nuts

ΒΌ cup water

ΒΌ cup maple syrup

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Β½ teaspoon salt

Hi Ali, this looks so good and I love the frosting and that you wish it were thicker LOL.

So thanks for sharing your recipe and what a great breakfast...😊

This looks fantastic - I wish I was having a slice with you πŸ˜‰ I think that Orgran egg replacer is brillant for cooking. Can I just ask what vanilla flavouring you use please, as I can only find ones that contain Alcohol and Glycerine πŸ˜•

Hi Debs I use Nielsen Massey vanilla paste. I get it in the supermarket Β£4.50 (cheaper than on line). I like it as it lasts for ages as you only need a small amount. Jerry told me about the egg replacer. I had used chia seeds, flax seeds etc before but orgran egg replacer is the best πŸ™‚
