Hello Everyone! 

Vegan Post today! I baked a little vegan something for my mothers birthday last week. She wished herself a Carrot Cake. I have found a wonderful recipe on the internet which I immediately tried and in the following post I wrote down the steps for you as well. Click on the last page and it will get you to the page I got it from. 

The cake itself is so easy and quick to prepare. Of course you have to calculate with a little more than 3 bucks to bake it but in the end it is a nutritional and flavoural bomb! It has natural sweetness from the dates, you can taste the fresh carrot and the hint of coconut.

All in all, like I said it "baked" quick and easy, only very messy and a bit pricy but it is so worth it. Really one of the best cakes you can make.


For the Cashew Lemon Frosting
1 1/2 cups cashews
Juice from 1 lemon
2 tablespoons liquid coconut oil
2 tablespoons coconut nectar
1 teaspoon vanilla powder
Water, as needed
For the Carrot Cake
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped into small chunks
1 1/2 cups oats
2 cups dates
1/2 cup dried coconut
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg


Preparation: 

  1. To make the frosting: blend all ingredients in your high speed blender until smooth, adding water as needed. Taste it – mmm. Put in the fridge.
  2. To make the cake: process the oats into flour in your food processor then throw the rest of the ingredients in the food processor and process until it all begins to stick together.
  3. Assembly: press half the cake mixture into a small spring form pan (mine is about 4 inches). Gently take this out and put on a plate, then put in the freezer until it’s solid. Do the same to the remaining half of the cake mixture. Spread about 1/3 of the frosting onto the top of one of the cake layers. Put it in the freezer until the layer of frosting is hard. Place on the other cake layer and frost the entire thing, I let it set in the fridge overnight.




I hope you will try it as well and that you liked it!
