Recipe Vegan Carrot Cake (& Frosting)

Ingredients :

• Cake:
• 2 1/4 cups flour (Half spelt, half all-purpose flour)
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1 cup almond milk
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup cane sugar
• 1/2 cup (melted) coconut or canola oil
• 2 cups grated carrots, medium-packed
• Frosting:
• 1/2 cup raw macadamia nuts (soaked, drained, and rinsed)
• 1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked, drained, and rinsed)
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp salt

Method :

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, almond milk, vanilla, sugar and oil.
4. Mix the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients.
5. Fold in the carrots and stir until just combined.
6. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cake cool completely before frosting.
7. Make the frosting: combine all frosting ingredients into a high speed blender. Blend until very smooth for 1 to 2 minutes or more, scraping down the sides occasionally. You can add an extra tablespoon of milk if necessary to get your blade moving.
8. Chill frosting for at least 30 minutes before spreading on the cake.
9. Store frosted cake in the fridge.
