Ingredients
  

Super Moist Vegan Carrot Cake

  • 1 cup finely grated carrots
  • 1 cup oat or almond milk
  • ½ cup melted vegan butter
  • ¾ cup cane or coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.
  • 1 ¼ cup oat flour

Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 2 oz vegan cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoon softened vegan butter

Instructions
 

Super Moist Vegan Carrot Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the carrots, oat or almond milk, melted butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. Add in the baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Finally, mix in the oat flour and the all purpose flour. Pour the batter into a 9x5 loaf pan and bake for 40-50 minutes or until golden.
  • While the loaf is baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix the vegan cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar. Set aside.
  • Allow the loaf to cool and spread it with vegan cream cheese icing! Enjoy!

Notes

Wrap any leftovers in plastic wrap and store on the counter for about 2 days or in the fridge for about 1 week. Any longer than that and you can freeze it in a freezer-safe, airtight container for up to about 3 months.
